Re: annotate vs blame

For those who hate the use of svn blame and/or cvs annotate, you might
consider:

svn etiology

Etiology is the study of causes or origins which is really what cvs
annotate or svn blame shows (either in the form of time or committer).

Good Things:
It's the same length as annotate so it's not longer to type.
It's used almost exclusively as a noun and less likely to be confused as a
verb.
It has a very clear and specific meaning with few connotations.
It's emotionally neutral (if perhaps a bit antiseptic).

Bad Things:
Many people probably haven't heard of the word and would say it's obscure.
