Sure, I will get around to it once this patch is done.

'hg blame' without any arguments already gives the locally-unique
revision number which can be input to 'hg log -r ####' like the git
revhash. I think this would be the way to go.

No, but -l adds line numbers to output, so it can be filtered in Perl.

It seems they reflect the line number in the original revision, the
documentation isn't clear on this; I will investigate it.
I guess we can get the real line number using a counter anyway.

I'm split on this. At first it seems adding a --vcs as an alias to --git
would make the most sense.

But that's confusing because there already is a --scm option. Also
renaming all existing --git-* options doesn't sound like a good idea.

Since will do the right thing by default, sticking with --git/--nogit
might be the best way to go.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: also find maintainers from Mercurial (hg log)

When a .git directory doesn't exist, get_maintainer now tries to use Mercurial
instead.

The --nogit option also disables Mercurial.
