What I was thinking was to allow blame to consider the sequence of
revisions in opposite order: instead of considering the oldest revision
the first one in the chain, so `svn blame` output prints the youngest
revision that touched a given line, allow 'svn blame' (when invoked as
-r M:N with M<N, which is currently an error) to consider the _youngest_
revision as the first one in the chain, so that `svn blame` output will
print the _oldest_ revision that touched a given line.
In other words: 'svn blame -r 3:1 iota' will, for each line in iota_at_1,
print the oldest revision which changed or removed that line.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for asking,
