I edited my patch set to allow changing the heuristic.  I also made a 
commit that uses your fingerprinting code to match target lines to 
parent lines.  I'll send it all out in another email and CC you.  The 
last commit is still a work in progress.

Regarding stuff like the name of the ignore file, in my first version, I 
went with whatever git hyper-blame does.  That was shot down, rightly 
so, I think.  With a git-config setting, you can name the file whatever 
you want, or add multiple files.  With my current patchset, you can 
disable the file too with --ignore-revs-file="".

As far as using notes or per-commit info, that might be nice, though 
it's not a huge burden to have a separate commit - you can wait til 
after things get merged (so we have the final object name (hash)) and 
it's not hugely burdensome.  But I get that's just my opinion.  =)
