Previously, when a commit was skipped, it would be blamed on the line
number the line had *after* the skipped commit. This could mean a
totally unrelated commit gets blamed. Now, a heuristic analyses the diff
of the skipped commit to discover approximately what line number the
line had *before* the skipped commit, so it can hopefully be blamed on
the right commit.

Currently, the script requires you to pass the unwanted commits on the
command line, but eventually, you could configure it with a file
(checked into the repo) that provides a fixed set of commits to always
skip (such as commits that do a huge amount of renaming and nothing
else).
