Not while this is not fit for merging because of #if 0 etc and missing
functionality. This is just for review.

Yes. Basically, the call graph outside of blame.c itself should be
pretty much the same.

Will do.

More like "added, forgotten, added under yet another name":

I'll have to decide which one to keep.

Ok.

Ok. I'm also certain to have a few "space between function name and
arguments" left and will grep for those before submitting the next
version.
Next version will at least include -M option, possibly leaving -C for
later.
