Subject: [PATCH (GITK,GIT-GUI,DOCS) 4/7] git-gui: Support passing blame to a parent commit.

From: Alexander Gavrilov <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:30:51 +0400

Add a context menu item that switches the view to the
parent of the commit under cursor. It is useful to see
how the file looked before the change, and find older
changes in the same lines.
