That doesn't necessarily work, at least not incrementally. The same commit 
can show up multiple times for *different* 'blame_entry' things, and I 
don't think we want to show such a commit multiple times, and I also don't 
think we know what all the blame entries are going to be until the end.

So right now I use that METAINFO_SHOWN flag to just show the commit once. 
That makes the log a *lot* more readable.

In my original patch (the one you apparently have in 'pu'), I did that 
differently (and not very well), but maybe that approach lends itself 
better to showing some kind of patch.

I think my newer version is likely better.
