No, it is really not.

Most pieces of code that you would want to know about why there were done this 
way have most probably already been touched multiple times by multiple people 
so git-blame can not help you, anyway.

If you want to know why something was changed, locate the commit that really 
did it (using “git log -- <file>” or a GUI tool of your choice). This way you 
will usually have all necessary context, such as simultaneous changes to other 
files, preceeding and following commits, and of course the commit message.
