- The deathmatch between annotate/blame (Ryan Anderson, Fredrik

Add fuel to the fire  ;-) Can git-blame take cached git-rev-list
output like annotate does with -S?

Currently it cannot do that. How is that option used?

The history is linearized, and the commits are ordered accordingly, then 
to be passed to git-annotate/-blame.

If you want to make annotate/blame faster for certain files you might as 
well cache the output of annotate/blame instead of the git-rev-list 
output, no?

What am I missing?

Two things:

- the history is growing, and
- it would be inefficient/error-prone to save the annotates for files 

Hth,
