I just implemented the blame --incremental thing in git-gui. I'm grabbing the file data ahead of time with git-cat-file, throwing up the UI, then streaming in the incremental blame data as it comes. Its *VERY* fast. Nice job to both of you (Linus and Junio).

If you are curious its been pushed to repo.or.cz:

  git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git

  Repository->Browse Current Branch
  Double click on the file you want to see.

I'm going to work up screenshots a bit later.
