I agree that git-pickaxe is wrong, and luckily Junio does too, apparently.

But please, let's not go right back to the git-annotate / git-blame situation. It's just confusing to have two tools that do the same thing, perhaps subtly differently. If it's gonna replace git-blame, it should either do that right away or live as git-blame2 for some time, but not play any confusing games with the names.
