svn blame: how to see reverted line?

Hi all,

I'm running "svn blame" to on a file but not getting useful results
in this particular instance, because I'm trying to find out when
a change was reverted.

I will substitute an example to simplify.

Suppose I have a file which was created (revision 1) by user bob.
Then at revision 50, a kludge was introduced by alice work around some
bug
elsewhere.

Now, the file is at line 100, and the kludge has been reverted.
It turns out that this had been done by mike in rev 75, but I don't
know that, which is why I'm running "svn blame".

But I'm getting this:

 1 bob original line
 1 bob original line
 1 bob original line

Although it is true that the resembles the original written by bob,
thanks to the revert, I want blame to show me who touched something
last.

 1 bob original line
75 mike original line
 1 bob original line

The line may be the original one, but it's mike who put it there,
reverting alice's rev 50 workaround.
