Re: [PATCH v2 7/7] blame: actually use the diff opts parsed from the command line

The reason that I would prefer to change `blame` as part of this patch

blame` to use different heuristics when computing diffs. It would make
their output inconsistent.

I do think it is the right thing to do.  With your shifting heuristics,
"git diff" would attribute an addition of a whole block more
correctly, e.g.

	 }

        +foo {
        +	bar
        +       baz
	+}

instead of attributing the tail of the new thing to the old author,
and the "blame" should take advantage of the better heuristics as
well.
