Blame parent link in blame view

[sindresorhus]

Often when I blame something there are useless noise commits obscuring what I'm actually looking for, which means I need to go one commit back from that commit that made the noise, and then blame again to get what I'm actually after. Would be useful to have a link to go one commit back in the blame view.

Some sort of annotated screenshot would clarify this ticket a bit.

In the blame view, like https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/blame/master/extension/content.js, I would like to to change the blame view to the parent commit of the one currently on the left side, as I want to know what happened to that piece of code before the commit currently there.

So in the above screenshot I would like an extra link for each blame that says Blame parent and goes to the blame view of the commit before the one referenced.

Is that clear?

I get exactly what you need, because I've wanted that for so long. I will submit a PR in a few minutes if everything goes by plan.

For reference, here's how it looks now:
