The problem with git-blame is that it only reports the last author/commit

the last author may only change a tiny part of the code and should not be
blamed. I developed a built-in tool called "git-author" to address this
problem. Git-author is designed to track the complete development history of
a line. For the same line of code:

$ git author -c -L 2235,2235 fs/ext4/mballoc.c
[...]

Have you tried "git log -L 2235,2235:fs/ext4/mballoc.c --
fs/ext4/mballoc.c"? Can you compare your approach to that of "log -L"?
