The following help text explains how I think it should behave:

[[[
blame (praise, annotate, ann): Show when each line of a file was last (or
next) changed.
usage: blame [-rM:N] TARGET[@REV]...

  Annotate each line of a file with the revision number and author of the
  last change (or optionally the next change) to that line.

  With no revision range (same as -r0:REV), or with '-r M:N' where M < N,
  annotate each line that is present in revision N of the file,
  with the last revision at or before rN that changed or added the line,
  looking back no further than rM.

  With a reverse revision range '-r M:N' where M > N,
  annotate each line that is present in revision N of the file,
  with the NEXT revision AFTER rN that changed or DELETED the line,
  looking forward no further than rM.

  Write the annotated result to standard output.

  If specified, REV determines in which revision the target is first
  looked up.
]]]

Makes sense?
