>Firing up git blame was next...

I like your story, but I find amusing that `git blame` has such an appropriate name.

"git annotate" does the same thing, but "git blame" can be more fun / dramatic if you're looking into the cause of a problem.

Interestingly, "svn annotate" had 2 aliases: "svn blame" and "svn praise". But git didn't add a "praise" alias, just "blame". I actually almost submitted a PR to add "git praise" one time.

Linus Torvalds wrote it so it's pretty typical of his style.

My sibling beat me to it, but I always thought that it was called this because of the need for it for exact the reason I described in my post...
