git blame sucks in anything but fullscreen either way.  It would help to
display _only_ the source code and have the other info as mouse-over,
but that's not something a pager can do.

It is a pity that the content can be columnized much worse than the
metadata: otherwise it would make much more sense to display the content
_first_ in line.  The metadata is useless without the content anyway.
