Non-repetition was quite deliberate, as the reader was expected to have
memory proportional to the number of lines in the range, but I agree it is
not friendly for quick and dirty hack.

You should be able to add a command line option that disables the early
return at the beginning of emit_one_suspect_detail() with a 5-6 lines of
patch.

I tried that, and it is slightly more involved. You also need to break a
multi-line run of lines that blame to a single suspect into its
constituent lines. I am 75% of the way to such a patch if you are
interested. It's not a lot of code, but it takes some refactoring of
emit_porcelain.

It turned out to not be too bad. Here's the series.

  [1/3]: add tests for various blame formats
  [2/3]: blame: refactor porcelain output
  [3/3]: blame: add --line-porcelain output format
