Hmm. Now, how does "git-blame" tell if there is usable git-gui installed with it? Will we have "git-gui --list-features"?
It can run `git gui version` and check to see that it is >= 0.7.3. ;-) I'm actually not sure we want to apply this patch, hence the RFC prefix I put on it. Jakub suggested it, this crude implementation was easy enough to hack together, so I posted a patch for someone to play with if they were so inclined. Maybe we should just put a link in the git-blame manual page to the git-gui manual page:
