I don't object to maintaining such a file; if it makes "git blame" work better, that's a huge win. However, the file as you have it seems rather unreadable. I'd much rather have something that includes the commit date and/or first line of commit message. Is there any flexibility in the format, or does git blame insist it be just like this? regards, tom lane
