Jump to commit changing the current line

Something like this would be golden for code review, I assume just needs some git blame + git-commit-link plumbing?

Good idea.

My initial thoughts are that git-link-commit + a git blame mode (magit-blame for example) would do it, but that is an extra step and magit-blame doesn't allow the point over commit hashes...

Nevertheless I think the link alists should probably be consolidated first.

Suggestions for the function's name? I'm thinking git-link-blame. Though at some point may be good to be able use a prefix + git-link for everything.

[dolzenko]

Yeah, not being able to point to commit hash in magit blame drives me crazy too, should it be git-link-blame-line? I would expect git-link-blame to take me just to blame view for the file.

[sshaw]

Maybe, but I think the functionality implies that it's a line number. Why would a given point send one to a blame for the whole file? Line number is more dwim and is in line with the library's other functions...
