Hyrum, thanks for posting these examples! I hadn't really understood
how 'svn blame -g' would look before. I have one small suggestion:

I think it might be helpful to add a single-character column to the
"svn blame -g" output which indicates whether or not a given line's
revision is describing a direct commit or a merge. Does this seem
useful to anyone else?
