I already understand that blame only shows the _most recent_ change for a line, not the complete history of changes.
That example looks like changes to me, not deletions. My request was about lines that are purely deleted, not changed. E.g. a file once had:
abcde
fghijkl
mnopq
rstu
And then a line got deleted:
abcde
mnopq
rstu

Think of it this way: imagine that instead of deleting lines in a file, I decided to replace them with XXXXXXXXXXXXX. TBlame would be able to show that. So, imagine extending that concept to treat actual deleted lines in a similar way.
I think conceptually it makes sense, though I would understand if the current TBlame design wouldn't easily accommodate such a change.
