A thought: couldn't you take the initial log message (the youngest
one), find the target file path in the file list, and "lay it over"
the original URL starting from the right edge, using the difference to
discover the non-path portion of the URL?

Sure, whatever works!
So, a question: Is the current blame output formally incorrect under
some circumstances? If it is, we'll need an issue -- which I'm happy
to file, just say the word. We can't enable the feature in 1.0 unless
the output is correct, IMHO. (Nor should we try to solve issue #960
before 1.0, but hopefully this 'blame' problem can be solved another
way -- brute force is fine :-) ).
