Very cools stuff! (You see, you already got one more person to try it
out by not relying on the bindings. *grin*) One suggestion. You might
want to have diagnostic output (like the "Diffing revision whatever"
stuff) go to stderr instead of stdout, since at the moment, running the
script and redirecting stdout to a file gets a bunch of that sort of
output in with the actual annotated output of the file.

Also, I haven't looked at the algorithm you're using closely, but you
seem to be going from earliest to latest revisions. Perhaps it would be
possible to reverse that and go from latest to earliest, so that in the
case where an entire file has been rewritten, you can avoid some diffs.

Thanks again, this is very nice to have!
