For git users it wouldn't be hard, actually.

The algorithm is a straightforward filter on annotate, and since
you have to do a diff anyway to get line numbers, Bob's yer uncle, you
just refuse to forget them as you go along.

You ought to suggest it on address@hidden; this is the kind of thing
that gets them all hot and bothered, leading to massive insomnia until
they have implemented a new branch format to support it.<0.5 wink>
Better do it before they catch Moratorium Fever, though!
