Addition to git layer: blamer

[phenix-factory]

Hello,

I just found this package on HN and I think it would be nice to have it in the git layer.

Thanks for linking the HN discussion, good stuff. The comments mention
this functionality is already available in magit-blame, though not very well
advertised.

1. M-x RET magit-blame RET m (or b) inside a source code buffer to activate
   the magit blame minor mode and then move the pointer around. There should be
   blame context in the minibuffer.
2. M-x RET magit-blame-cycle-style when in magit-blame mode. This is
   awesome. Might just replace SPC g f l (magit-log-buffer-file) and C-x v g (vc-annotate) for me.

Irony I guess. You right anyway: Thanks for linking the HN discussion, good stuff.

This is not really the same functionality. I know about magit-blame. Blamer does it differently since the blame is always on and on every line you move your cursor on.

We can add blamer to the git layer and have users make a choice between blamer and magit blame via a config var. In both cases we should have clear bindings for this feature.
