fai revisions --modified FILE:LINE can tell you which revisions added 
the current contents of LINE to FILE.  For lines with unique content, 
this is the same as "the last revision that modified this line".

Exact matching seems possible, but requires more sophisticated diff 
parsing.  One must recalculate the line numbers every time lines are 
added or removed above the lines in question.
