But the code for it looks weird:

Instead of using the colors one at a time, you randomly select one of
them. This means that you might select the same color twice or more,
and even twice in a row.  And you will never run out of colors, so
git-blame-ancient-color will never be used.

This change should probably not go in, but your patch has other stuff
that's good.

Ok, but the heavier cl dependency is noted below.

Good.

Good.

You removed the pop calls, but added a couple of dolist calls.  So you
still need to require cl.

> * Added more informations on compatibility

Good.
