i think 'svn blame' is a lot more descriptive than 'svn annotate', i
think it's more appropriate considering the most common use case for the
command (like cmike, i often use it to see who wrote the buggy code i'm
correcting so i can yell at them), and i think it's a hell of a lot more
amusing.

and if we're going to bend over backwards to make our command line
client's commands not have a 'negative connotation', i think it's kind
of depressing... it smacks of being 'pollitically correct' for no good
reason. i mean we called the program 'subversion' for crying out loud,
that sure as hell has a pseudo-negative connotation itself...
