The blame window shows "who wrote the piece originally" and "who moved it there" in two columns. In order to identify the former more correctly, it helps to use the new -w option.

I've wanted to do this since you introduced `git blame -w`. But I can't use it, because I cannot trust that -w is there. For example it is not in maint, but the new blame viewer from git-gui is. Apply my --list-features patch to core Git and I'll activate -w in git-gui when --list-features claims the 'blame-ignore-whitespace' feature is available. ;-) -- Shawn.
