Save the following script in ~/bin/git-rblame.sh, make it executable,
and then create a global git alias for it as follows:

$ git config --global alias.rblame '!~/bin/git-rblame.sh $*'

Given that you have ~/bin in PATH, just name the script ~/bin/git-rblame
and you won't even have to define an alias on each machine. ;-)

Yes but I don't want to use 'git-rblame' as the command since I've
broken my habit of using the dashed versions of commands. 'git rblame'
just feels better to me.

Now I probably should have named the script something that won't ever
clash with possible future git commands (like my-git-rblame.sh or
something) but since it's in my ~/bin I'll just deal with that if it
ever happens in the future :)

Oops. That actually does do what I want.  Thanks for pointing that out
Miklos!

(sorry for replying to my own post - next time I'll try it first before
 I post :)
