For what its worth, my 'pu' has the same policy as Junio's; it rebases freely and topics can come and go from it at any time. But that said, it is certainly suitable for Junio's 'pu'. :-)

I just pushed an even newer version out a couple of minutes ago. Now I'm running two passes of git-blame:

	*) Pass 1:  git-blame --incremental
	*) Pass 2:  git-blame -M -C -C --incremental

and the viewer shows them in two columns. This gives you pretty quick information about why a change exists, as you get both who moved the block to where it is, and who originally wrote it. ;-)

Lots of things still to be worked on in blame, like having it keep track of what line(s) you are at or are trying to jump to. I'll try to get to that stuff tonight or tomorrow.
