This is yet another attempt to upstream the builtin command

the most recent modification to paths in a tree..

The last attempt (I'm aware of) was made by Ævar in 2023[1]. That
series was based of patches by Peff written in 2011[2].

For what it's worth, the blame-tree implementation that this came from
has evolved significantly since it was originally written in 2011. Most
recently Stolee and I worked on a version that uses changed-path Bloom
filters to narrow the search, passing un-blamed paths to their parents
at each level of the traversal.

I wonder if it would be easier to start from scratch with the modern
implementation rather than land this one and try to build on top of it.

Thanks,
