I think `git blame` provides a --porcelain option that helps track lines
accross revisions. I expect that using that information would be an
improvement over the current behavior, but the solution won't be perfect
and in some situations it'll still go to a strange line. Also, I don't
know if this feature is available in other non-git vc backends.
