Description

Feature request: teach blame print blame information only for a given line
range: e.g., "svn blame --lines 10:20"..

The main selling point here is that, if we use a youngest-to-oldest walk, we
might be able to do less work --- we'd be able to stop combining diffs (and
requesting them from the server) as soon as all those lines are accounted for.
