I also want to be able to tell _why_ which is why I dislike working on codebases that squash commmits. Too many times I've done a blame to see why a change was made, and it's a giant (> 10) list of commit messages. Oftentimes, the macro description of what was going on does not help me with the line-level detail.

Also, in case it helps you in the future, `blame -wC` is what I use when doing blame; it ignores whitespace changes and tracks changes across files (changes happened before a rename, for example.)
