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

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.

Side note - this ended up being one reason why "gitk" is so good. It just 
passed down the arguments to "git-rev-list", and it allowed me to improve 
on the original gitk without gitk ever even _realizing_ it was improved 
upon. All the pathname filtering etc was done without gitk ever learning 
about it - it "just worked".
