It does not retain blame info of lines that were deleted. All
"undeleted" lines will show as last changed in the last commit (which is
of course correct from svn's pov, but not what I want)

Why wouldn't this work with complicated changes? As long as the changes
don't rely on the faulty commit (and if they do, they probably should
not be re-applied anyway,) I think this would work fine.
