That is exactly the point I have been trying to raise. Does the person appear in the list when you run blame with -CCC? You ask for the body of the function, and the -C mode of blame sees through the block-of-line movement across file boundaries, and goes straight to the last commit that touched the body of the function in its original file, no?
