Why not e.g. trace?

Hi all out there!

Just getting over the blame command - Stefan already mentioned it
a while ago:

IMVHO it's not a very nice command. If we are curious about some
code or text in a file - do we always want to _blame_ its author for
it? Or is it not equally likely we just wanna to know who wrote this
particular stuff to hear from that person why he did something that
way or how it can be further developed or changed to comply with
something oneself just works on?

I throw "trace" instead into the ring to make it short, not least for
the status line description in TSVN. Other suggestion would be
"find-author" (might be mixed up with "author") or "origin" or "find-
originator".
