Reverse blame can be used to locate removal of lines which does not
change adjacent lines. Such edits do not appear in non-reverse blame,
because the adjacent lines last changed commit is older history, before
the edit.
For a big and active project which uses topic branches, or analogous
feature, for example pull-requests, the history can contain many
concurrent branches, and even after an edit merged into the target
branch, there are still many (sometimes several tens or even hundreds)
topic branch which do not contain it:
a0--a1-----*a2-*a3-a4...-*a100
|\ / / /
| b0-B1..bN / /
|\ / /
| c0.. ..cN /
\ /
z0.. ..zN
Here, the '*'s mark the first parent in merge, and uppercase B1 - the
commit where the line being blamed for was removed. Since commits cN-zN
do not contain B1, they still have the line removed in B1, and
reverse blame can report that the last commit for the line was zN
(meaning that it was removed in a100). In fact it really does return
some very late commit, and this makes it unusable for finding the B1
commit.
The search could be done by blame --reverse --first-parent. For range
a0..a100 it would return a1, and then only one additional blame along
the a0..bN will return the desired commit b0. But combining --reverse
and --first-parent was forbidden in

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
