// Blame returns the last commit that modified each line of a file in a
// repository.
//
// The file to blame is identified by the input arguments: repo, commit and path.
// The output is a slice of commits, one for each line in the file.
//
// Blaming a file is a two step process:
//
// 1. Create a linear history of the commits affecting a file. We use
// revlist.New for that.
//
// 2. Then build a graph with a node for every line in every file in
// the history of the file.
//
// Each node (line) holds the commit where it was introduced or
// last modified. To achieve that we use the FORWARD algorithm
// described in Zimmermann, et al. "Mining Version Archives for
// Co-changed Lines", in proceedings of the Mining Software
// Repositories workshop, Shanghai, May 22-23, 2006.
//
// Each node is assigned a commit: Start by the nodes in the first
// commit. Assign that commit as the creator of all its lines.
//
// Then jump to the nodes in the next commit, and calculate the diff
// between the two files. Newly created lines get
// assigned the new commit as its origin. Modified lines also get
// this new commit. Untouched lines retain the old commit.
//
// All this work is done in the assignOrigin function which holds all
// the internal relevant data in a "blame" struct, that is not
// exported.
