Apparently (I didn't know before ;-), it is, when using the -M option:

$ git blame -- drivers/of/address.c | tail -3
1db096f9167bc267e (Geert Uytterhoeven        2023-03-30 13:42:05 +0200
1150) return mem;
1db096f9167bc267e (Geert Uytterhoeven        2023-03-30 13:42:05 +0200 1151) }
1db096f9167bc267e (Geert Uytterhoeven        2023-03-30 13:42:05 +0200
1152) EXPORT_SYMBOL(of_io_request_and_map);

$ git blame -M -- drivers/of/address.c | tail -3
efd342fb0031a1775 (Matthias Brugger          2014-07-18 11:36:39 +0200

efd342fb0031a1775 (Matthias Brugger          2014-07-18 11:36:39 +0200 1151) }

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
