"blame -c" is advertised to give the same format as "annotate",
so I think you would not need other hunk if you did.

Not that I am preferring the annotate output format over blame's
native output format.  I just wanted to know if the reason you
did not do -c was because you tried and "blame -c" was not
compatible as advertised (in which case we have one more thing
to fix).

As far as I can tell, "blame -c" works fine. I switched because I find
the default blame output nicer, it wastes less horizontal space and
the file contents are properly aligned.
