Thanks for this, btw. I've already used it at least half a dozen times
in the past week or so.

Good to hear. I remember you posted a patch for this after 0.11 was
released last April.

It looks like you just keep the view on the same line number when moving
to the new blame output. In practice, this has very mixed results. Most
of the time it does exactly what I want, but if the file changes
significantly, you get dumped at a totally unrelated part of the file.
I'm not sure if there is a more clever solution, though.

Yes, it is a bit easy to get lost. It should be possible to find the
original line number either by making git-blame also honor
--show-number for the --incremental output or by using the "porcelain"
version:

  git blame --show-number -L <line>,<line> <rev> <file>
