 Karl Heinz Marbaise suggests that we document some of the more interesting
 things you can do with 'svn blame':

 {{{
 I have used blame sometimes and made the experience that it can be used
 to examine the information about how many lines have been changed by a
 particular person:

 svnsles9:/home/kama/testvc/book-trunk # svn blame button.c
      4       kama int main (int argc, char **argv) {
      5       kama       printf("Test");
      4       kama       return 0;
      4       kama }
 svnsles9:/home/kama/testvc/book-trunk # svn blame
 file:///home/kama/testvc/book/trunk/button.c -r 5:5
      -          - int main (int argc, char **argv) {
      5       kama       printf("Test");
      -          -       return 0;
      -          - }
 svnsles9:/home/kama/testvc/book-trunk # svn blame
 file:///home/kama/testvc/book/trunk/button.c -r 4:4
      4       kama int main (int argc, char **argv) {
      4       kama       return 0;
      4       kama }
 svnsles9:/home/kama/testvc/book-trunk #

 The first execution will give you an overview of which line is changed
 in which revision by whome..
 The second execution will give you detailed information which lines had
 been changed in a particular revision...
 The thirs will do the same...

 This can be used to create some kind of statistics....(like statsvn do)...
 May be it should be put some more information about the command into the
 book...only the blame in relationship with "-g" option is mentioned but
 the other opportunities are not mentioned (in particular the second
 execution)...may be they should be part of the reference section....
