We can probably make it useful with some extended efforts. I use
git-blame and I sometimes find that I don't need things like the name
of the author, time, timezone and not even the file name and I have to
use a bigger terminal. If we could somehow remove those fields then
maybe this would be a useful feature.

Idea: Make git-blame understand `format`

git-log has a format option in which we can configure what all things
we need and what we don't. We could probably do the same here also.
After carefully using the format specification with git-log each
person can get a good look at however he seems to view. But I am not
sure whether this is worth the effort. I personally find this `format`
feature useful.

Pranit Bauva
