I think this is just a testament that "following renames" is not
as useful in a real project as people seem to believe, not a
real complaint.

Yeah. That said, what you wanted would have actually worked with my 
original strange patch to "git blame", and in particular that also would 
allow you to get a "log" for certain lines in the file.

Yeah, I just tried the blame from 'pu' (I have been carrying
that original patch from you there).  The output is not very
intuitive in that it talks about each commit but it is not
apparent _why_ the command talks about that commit.  Maybe
adding "there are the lines in the final image of the blob you
are blaming that came from this commit" to the output would make
the output easier to read.
