> it was way way easier & faster to figure out who wrote a line of code than it is in git today. Don't you have git blame integration in your editor?

  Git blame will often get the guy who fixed a spelling mistake in a variable, not the guy before him who wrote the code.

    To continue digging previous history: git blame <sha>^ -- file.c Where <sha> is the hash of the commit where the spelling mistake was made, pulled from the original blame from HEAD. Though I don't use such stuff, I would be surprised if there wasn't IDE support to make this "deeper dig" more of a point and click operation.

      There is, try `git gui blame`.

  I do, and it doesn't hold even 1 candela to P4's timeline. ;)
