Looks nice :) It makes it much more comfortable to wait for the real output. Perhaps there should be a config option to enable the eye-candy when git-blame is run on a terminal (e.g. (configoption && stdout is a tty && stderr is a tty) || --progress)? Typing --progress is annoying.

I also noticed that git-blame with --progress is slowed down a bit by the terminal here; the output on stderr was ~400kb.
