This can be annoyingly slow (and with git is slower than with bzr).
E.g., try xdisp.c: it takes git more than 4 minutes to display
anything in response to "C-x v g" (2 minutes if done from the shell).
Looking into ChangeLog's is surely faster.
Someone, I think it was you, once told me that the slow operation of
'git blame' was a deliberate design decision of the git developers.
So it doesn't sound like this is supposed to be the first tool to be
used for such jobs. FWIW, I use that only after I already have some
idea about what I'm looking for and in which time period.
