I tried to reset --hard and apply it. That works too. And then I tried
to apply this patch to another repo. I got the expected result in blame.

Sorry about it. This patch does not apply to latest mtd-utils, I made it
in a local repo. As my working network can not access:
https://git.infradead.org/srv/git/mtd-utils.git/

You know, there are some strange limits about network in lots of china
companies. :(

So, I marked it as RFC to see the opinions about this idea. I have to
wait to go home this night to update my repo and rebase this patch.

Sorry again :(.
