This is not my common usage.
Since I'm quite new to my project, I often annotate to
see who I can ask about how a piece of code works or
what it does. I suppose this can be interpreted as
saying, "Who do I blame for not commenting/documenting
stuff properly?" I'd rather look at it as, "Who is
the person that can teach me new things?" It sure
makes my day brighter and more enjoyable :-)

I always (well, since I first heard about the project)
that the name had a neat double connotation. IMHO,
subversion isn't necessarily negative; in this case,
subverting CVS with something that has the same
functionality (so as not to disalienate anyone), has
added often-requested functionality, and is generally
better, is quite positive.
