git-blame support about magit HOT 8 CLOSED

you could try mo-git-blame

from magit.

mo-git-blame promising. However, it seems there's a dependency to the vc git mode as when I ran M-x mo-git-blame-current, all I got was this error:

Loading /home/jhellsten/emacs/lisp/mo-git-blame/mo-git-blame.el (source)...done
Loading cl-macs...done
Running 'git cat-file'... done
vc-registered: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

Has anyone already started to work on it? I'm planning to integrate mo-git-blame into magit, it will take some time.

I haven't. What would mo-git-blame get us over the built-in vc-annotate?

from magit.

Maybe nothing. :) I should look at vc-annotate closer.

from magit.

I use vc-annotate, it's pretty nice and would probably be easier to integrate. Up to you though.

from magit.

Thanks, I'll try vc-annotate. I couldn't get it to work last time I tried:

error: unknown option `-rmaster'
usage: git blame [options] [rev-opts] [rev] [--] file

I don't know whether my git is too new (1.7) or my Emacs too old. But I guess that's out of the scope of this issue tracker. :)

I'm going to close this, if you don't mind. I think vc-annotate is good enough.
