 OPTIONS
 -------
--c, --compatibility::
-	Use the same output mode as gitlink:git-annotate[1] (Default: off).
-
--L n,m::
-	Annotate only the specified line range (lines count from 1).
-
--l, --long::
-	Show long rev (Default: off).
+include::blame-options.txt[]
 
--t, --time::
-	Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
+-c::
+	Use the same output mode as gitlink:git-annotate[1] (Default: off).
 
--S, --rev-file <revs-file>::
-	Use revs from revs-file instead of calling gitlink:git-rev-list[1].
+--score-debug::
+	Include debugging information related to the movement of
+	lines between files (see `-C`) and lines moved within a
+	file (see `-M`).  The first number listed is the score.
+	This is the number of alphanumeric characters detected
+	to be moved between or within files.  This must be above
+	a certain threshold for git-blame to consider those lines
+	of code to have been moved.
 
 -f, --show-name::
 	Show filename in the original commit.  By default

 -n, --show-number::
 	Show line number in the original commit (Default: off).
 
--p, --porcelain::
-	Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
-
--M::
-	Detect moving lines in the file as well.  When a commit
-	moves a block of lines in a file (e.g. the original file
-	has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and
-	then A), traditional 'blame' algorithm typically blames
-	the lines that were moved up (i.e. B) to the parent and
-	assigns blame to the lines that were moved down (i.e. A)
-	to the child commit.  With this option, both groups of
-	lines are blamed on the parent.
-
--C::
-	In addition to `-M`, detect lines copied from other
-	files that were modified in the same commit.  This is
-	useful when you reorganize your program and move code
-	around across files.  When this option is given twice,
-	the command looks for copies from all other files in the
-	parent for the commit that creates the file in addition.
-
--h, --help::
-	Show help message.

+INCREMENTAL OUTPUT
+------------------
+
+When called with `--incremental` option, the command outputs the
+result as it is built.  The output generally will talk about
+lines touched by more recent commits first (i.e. the lines will
+be annotated out of order) and is meant to be used by
+interactive viewers.
+
+The output format is similar to the Porcelain format, but it
+does not contain the actual lines from the file that is being
+annotated.
+
+. Each blame entry always starts with a line of:
+
+	<40-byte hex sha1> <sourceline> <resultline> <num_lines>
++
+Line numbers count from 1.
+
+. The first time that commit shows up in the stream, it has various
+  other information about it printed out with a one-word tag at the
+  beginning of each line about that "extended commit info" (author,
+  email, committer, dates, summary etc).
+
+. Unlike Porcelain format, the filename information is always
+  given and terminates the entry:
+
+	"filename" <whitespace-quoted-filename-goes-here>
++
+and thus it's really quite easy to parse for some line- and word-oriented
+parser (which should be quite natural for most scripting languages).
++
+[NOTE]
+For people who do parsing: to make it more robust, just ignore any
+lines in between the first and last one ("<sha1>" and "filename" lines)
+where you don't recognize the tag-words (or care about that particular
+one) at the beginning of the "extended information" lines. That way, if
+there is ever added information (like the commit encoding or extended
+commit commentary), a blame viewer won't ever care.
