I wonder if having support for 'git blame <directory>' in Git core would be something interesting to Git users. I once tried to implement it, but it went nowhere. Would it be hard to implement?

I guess that GitHub offers this view as a part of the home page view for a repository is something of a historical artifact; namely that web interfaces for other version control systems used this. But I wonder how useful it is. Neither cgit nor gitweb offer such view, both GitLab and Bitbucket start with summary age with no blame-tree.
