Hmm. I was hoping git-blame would have a feature which might allow 
ignoring commits, but seemingly not. You can ignore whitespace changes 
with -w, but of course that doesn't help for variable names.

It seems the next best thing is to blame starting at a revision. At 
least if there is "one big change", there is only one revision to 
consider. With many smaller changes that would be harder.
