Indeed, it needs to be written down, including what to do with existing code
on changes near around.
In this case I had to follow Antonio suggestion about the breaks, previous
version w/o them hasn't pass review.
As for blame, most of git ui tools allows to traverse blame in depth, incl.
tig - console git shell, anyway any refactoring brings the same issue.
