Thanks. I wasn't aware of the fact that there is a "git annotate" command before. The point regarding the word "blame" seems to remain. Maybe the "git blame" command can be removed in a future major version and a flag added to "git annotate" so that "git annotate" can return the data in the format in which "git blame" currently returns it.
