The change in this case was *adding* lines and then *removing* the same
lines.  No other lines changed.  Therefore the lines in the current
version look exactly like they did before the change was ever made.
As a result 'git blame' shows when they were originally written.

If you do just "git log -- path/to/file.hxx" that will show all the
commits that changed the file.
