GitHub Desktop is now available

I am a guy who usually puts too much info into commit messages instead of code comments. Git blame recently helped me to find out why I had added a particular line to a lengthy if condition.

Svn blame would have done the same... Where's the git-specific use?

As with many svn features, blame requires access to the server and is also quite slow. In git, this sort of thing is instantaneous and therefore viable to do all the time if you like.

Lol! Never knew svn blame existed :-). I suppose tracking a change over multiple merges may not be easy?
