Git blame is great. But having to look at all commit messages over, say, a few hundred lines of code just to know about standard pitfalls does not sound efficient. Edge cases are not just in the places where code is obviously doing something odd. Sometimes they hide in seemingly normal looking code - the kind of code you may not think it's worth diving into the commit history for.
