I had to double check that.  I think you copy&pasted correctly and
that snippet is actually broken.  Looks like the last two lines were
accidentally joined.

The real point of this reply is just to put a +1 vote on
git-blame-compatible output if that's feasible.  By feasible I mean,
doesn't force us to break the way darcs works.  If it's not feasible
then, oh well.

My reason is simple:  We can leverage the tools that already support
git's blame output just a little bit more easily that way.
