Oh my...I can't understand why people get so stuck-up about a word.
Personally I'd never work for a company where humour was forbidden. Such
companies should first forbid Emacs, because it has _games_ built in
(eek! who'll do the work if they keep playing?).

Sure, seeing incompetent managers blame developers for bugs is tasteless
(and for all I care incompetent managers should have their feet chained
to a block of concrete in preparation for the necessary dunking). But
developers "svn blame"'ing each other is a joke, and I highly recommend
that because it promotes team spirit, so there!

Besides, "svn blame" isn't just for finding bugs, and the word
"annotate" implies adding annotations, which is more likely to confuse
people.

There will be a command called "svn blame".
There will be an alias for that command, "svn praise", for those
precious rare occasions.

I have Spoken, and the world trembles.
