Research direction

Start by reading the mini.git module and reviewing how gitsigns provides line blame, especially its virtual-text presentation and interaction model. The issue does not name a file or test, so first identify the module entry point and existing test coverage. Done means mini.git provides an agreed-upon interactive line-blame feature in the Neovim interface.

Description

A very nice feature would be to have line blame, maybe as virtual text, very much line gitsigns.
