You might like Peff's or Jakub's tree blame script.  The newest version
I can find is

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/168323

As far as I recall, that script works. However, I have a pure-C
blame-tree implementation that is much faster, which may also be of
interest. I need to clean up and put a few finishing touches on it to
send it to the list, but it has been in production at GitHub for a few
months. You can find it here:

  git://github.com/peff/git jk/blame-tree

It's built on the regular diff traversal, just like the perl script you
linked, but doing it all in-process makes things fast.  I also added a
"--max-depth" parameter for diff, so you can do:

  git blame-tree --max-depth=1 -- Documentation

to recurse into the Documentation subdir, but not go into its
subdirectories. One of the things I need to clean up is that my counting
of --max-depth is different from that used by "git grep", and we would
probably want reconcile that.
