Yes but I don't want to use 'git-rblame' as the command since I've
broken my habit of using the dashed versions of commands. 'git rblame'
just feels better to me.

Now I probably should have named the script something that won't ever
clash with possible future git commands (like my-git-rblame.sh or
something) but since it's in my ~/bin I'll just deal with that if it
ever happens in the future :)
