Wish git had a praise synonym for

Wish git had a "praise" synonym for "blame" the way svn does. Typing "git blame" primes me to think less of the name I find.

I like 'annotate' - it's nice and neutral.

Interesting: "git annotate" produces subtly different output from "git blame". But, yeah, the particular was finding a line this morning that was commented out with the annotation:

If I'd typed "git annotate" I'd have been a little less curt in my resulting email...

And Ben Williams pointed out that I could also just do:

git config alias.praise blame

I'm a fan of the various 'blame' aliases that schwern uses:
