I've been using mo-bit-blame[1] lately, but I still think magit
*deserves* a better blame mode.

I'm dumping this here to make it more visual:

The source is unreadable. And if I toggle the headers, it's useless.

A good blame view? This is "tig blame":

Note how the same commits are color-coded with same values with a
cycling palette. Notice how compact the information is on the side.

mo-git-blame still doesn't font-lock as I would like, and the
information is not squeezed enough (unfortunately, it's hard to
customize), but it's still much better than the current magit mode. And
it's incremental as well.

Any chance mo-git-blame could actually replace the current blame mode to
encourage contributions? I've promised myself to modify mo-git-blame to
colorize the commits properly, but I didn't get to it yet in months. I
hope somebody could step in.
