This amount of detail is fine.

Rather than saying "fix", let's state what the behaviour change is.

  Make "svn blame" use a consistent column width even when revision
numbers are >= 1000000.

My recommendation:  Let's strive for compatibility where we can, and
where the old behaviour is reasonable.  I think a 6-character minimum
column width is reasonable for most purposes, even though it's not the
purest design.

Other than that, the patch looks perfect.
