Git blame is one of the best tools for understanding the history and archeology of a large legacy code base.

There is nothing worse when you're trying to do solve some problem that you discover a giant reformatting commit typically instituted by a youngish developer.

It obviously doesn't remove the history, it just makes it so much harder to actually find out why the code was written as is.
