I agree with your complex example. But it will be great to guess in simple case, when in version v1.0 only one file A which were renamed into C half year later.

`git blame COMMIT^ -- C`

For complex example the clue will be if user supply line number he want to blame. So if user supply line 10 we follow A, if user supply 30 we follow B. Simple and great =) (I mean usefull for people)

`git blame --line 10 COMMIT^ -- C` `git blame --line 30 COMMIT^ -- C`
