Is there a minimum git version for this to work?  It doesn't seem to
work for me.

... ah, apparently one needs git 2.23:

I have 2.20.

[ apt install -t buster-backports git ]

I have 2.30.  It works better.  To be clear: some lines still appear as
originating in some pgindent commit, when they are created by such a
commit.  But as far as I've seen, they're mostly uninteresting ones
(whitespace, only braces, only "else", only "for (;;)" and similar).
   
The git blame experience seems much better.  Thanks!
