Maybe, but imho author could go into the pop-up too.

Oh understood, it's just that if we aim for the stars we may reach the moon

No, *not* the rev, but if you move the other fields into the pop-up you only
need the rev to do the colouring.

I'd love to, but I'm not in a position to do that, unfortunately.
This may change (I hope), but not for now, apart from anything else I don't
have Visual Studio.

OK.
The other suggestion was to split the window into two panes, but this may be
even more effort than adding a second window.
In summary, I suggest having the (main) blame window showing the revision
and line numbers in addition to the lines from the file. The comment,
author, date and time could all be shown in the pop-up.
A list of the revisions, with associated author, date and time could be
shown in a pane within the blame window.

I hope that clarifies what I meant, I'll leave you to do what you think best
now.
