I often rebase a large open source project and there are merge conflicts where I need to figure out who made the change and when it order to decide as to which change to take. So generally what I do is that I go to both repos and look at the file and do a git blame. Is there a mergetool that will provide this info during conflict resolution. I would like to know who made and this change and when for each version. Right now I am using meld.
