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?
