Sorry for skipping a level of logical progression in the suggestion.
While I do not think we want to add another section for the default
format, if we were to add such a section, the new description should
use phrases that would have been used, and such a section would not
use a new and unclear "metadata" in the description. Instead it
would use phrases that the users can look for elsewhere in the same
documentation.
What is colored is the summary of the commit the line came from
(abbreviated commit object name, plus the author name and time by
default) plus the line number, I think.
Thanks.
Stefan mentioned "metadata" term to describe the line annotation, from
commit cdc2d5f11f1a:
When using git-blame lots of lines contain redundant information, for
example in hunks that consist of multiple lines, the metadata (commit
name, author, date) are repeated. A reader may not be interested in those,
so offer an option to color the information that is repeated from the
previous line differently. Traditionally, we use CYAN for lines that
are less interesting than others (e.g. hunk header), so go with that.
