This is somewhat hard to understand (huh, blame commit for the current line?), could you maybe try to reword it?
Also, when I move from line to line (in blame view), nothing changes in the status bar for me (also tested with TIGRC_SYSTEM= to skip local config..), maybe you can provide a screenshot of what you mean by that?
Otherwise, this looks good, and thanks for teaching us more TUI hacks ; )
