...  Unfortunately, I don't quite understand
some of the algorithms git-blame does when it splits the patch chunks into
smaller pieces to determine which pieces are blame-able on the parents.

In the article quoted, "blame" refers to a very old "git-blame" code that
does not in our codebase anymore.  It talks about "git-pickaxe" which
later took over the "git-blame" name, which happend in acca687
(git-pickaxe: retire pickaxe, 2006-11-08).

It talks about "NEEDSWORK" to hint that the implementation was incomplete,
refering to the version that eventually lead to cee7f24 (git-pickaxe:
blame rewritten., 2006-10-19).
