[p4] Is there a better "p4 blame" command?

[Roy Smith]

Yes, I've got that already.  Thanks for writing it.  It's mostly what  
I need.  Actually, I personally use the emacs integration, but we've  
got some luddites here who are still clinging to CVS and looking for  
excuses not to switch to P4.  The latest excuse is that there's no  
command-line version of "cvs blame".
