It is more or less an ease-of-use limitation of git blame. There are some that want an ncurses only version of git blame that could use arrow-key style navigation for historical commit line-ranges. git gui blame kind of works, but it's not ncurses/text based. git-cola kind of works too, but it's not text based either. Are there other existing tools for blame history viewing?
