I went through your initial thread about blame-tree, and it is really very very (+very) close to answer my question.

Thanks for writing it, if it comes one day to git, I will use it.

As for: 'I guess people's eyes and brains are trained by the old school "file boundaries matter" way of thinking' -- Junio C Hamano at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/168323; http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/168333

I think it's not the case, Mr. Hamano.

came from where in this current directory", which is a normal reaction of human beings, I think.

Speaking of which I can't help thinking that this feature could be provided by $git rev-list (HEAD) --no-walk -- <paths>, just don't stop at first commit, but at first commit for each of the paths.

Or maybe diff could have an option to not compare against a specific point, but actually do his job and go downstears and find where the _diff_erence for _each_ path happened finally.

(... applicable for $git status -l (--list) --porcelain ... but thats a whim, sorry.)

Anyway, thank you all for your time, it was a real pleasure for me, Blind.
