Hmm, you're right. I haven't quite figured out what went wrong with the
script I posted. However, a somewhat simpler approach is to just use the
revision limiting in git-blame. The problem with this is that commits
whose parents aren't in the revision range end up getting blamed for a
lot of lines they're not responsible for.

As a quick hack, I just threw out any revisions whose parents weren't in
range. This is wrong, since those revisions probably _do_ have some
correctly blamed lines. It made me wonder about a possible feature for
git-blame: when we can't pass the blame up further, instead of taking
responsibility, output a "no responsibility line" (blaming on commit
0{40}, or some other format). I think this should be more informative
when there is a limit on the range of revisions.

The top of the "blamedness" list for v1.4.3..v1.4.4 is below. Important
things do seem to float to the top, but it would probably be much more
accurate if we were scoring groups of commits (generated by some other
analysis).
