This won't be much help, but maybe it'll jog someone elses memory:
I recall reading (a few months back, somewhere on the internet) about
a python script which did a sort of extended "svn blame", showing each
version of every line back to the first revision of the file. Problem
is, I can't remember what the script was called or where I read about
it. Maybe someone else has better memory than I.
