Description

When a file is branched, its revision id restarts from 1.

So, 2 different lines can have the same revision id even though they have been submitted in 2 different changelists.

Since the perforce blame command is based on the revision id of each line, the result might be incorrect.

The solution I'm proposing in the attached patch is to use changelist number to identify the author of a line.
