Re: [PATCH] git-gui: use "blame -w -C -C" for "where did it come from, originally?"

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.

Actually, I think there's a different fundamental problem, namely that 
git-gui doesn't seem to accept parameters.

I'd personally rather *not* have git-gui make the -w/-M/-C choice for me. 
Why don't you just allow the user to say? Sometimes I might want to see 
who introduced broken whitespace. Let me say

	git gui blame -w filename.c

please? Instead of making that choice for me, and then blaming git for 
something that wasn't git's problem.
