No need. I use git blame all the time. Trivial patches don't bother me.

$ git blame foo.c

$ git show abc123

Sees that it's a trivial fix

$ git blame abc123~1 foo.c

$ git show def890

More changes I don't care about

$ git blame def890~1 foo.c

$ git show cde456

Ah! that's the change I was looking for!
