+1 for tig. tig blame is also excellent, you can easily drill down to see who changed a line. Plus tig is a great replacement for git log since it launches in around 0.25 seconds compared to 1+ seconds for gitk and other graphical viewers.

You don't even need magit to get some nice git interaction.
