RE: annotate vs blame

Oh my, this thread is getting long...

First off I'm close -0 (leaning towards -1) on "annotate"
being used at all (even as an alias). To annotate something
means to attach some comment/remarks to something in my mind.
I bet newcomers to version control systems would have the same.
That CVS or ClearCase use this term is wrong(tm) ;)

"blame" is good IMO, since you can clearly find out who to
blame for a change. "who" would be better since it doesn't
have a negative (or positive) tone.

I would very much like to see if we can actually implement
a true "annotate" subcommand later in the game, which does
what it means ;)

Just my $0.02,

Sander
