You are mistaken here. It's very helpful when debugging; usually you want to find the commit that introduced particular change, and read its changelog (at least). Having to cross rather pointless changes just adds time (need to restart git-blame with commit~1 as a base) for no really good reason. Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
