Hmm, let's try:

$ ~/hg/repos/1.4.3/hg version -q
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.4.3)
$ ~/hg/repos/1.4.3/hg annotate --follow bar
foo: foo

$ hg version -q
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.4.3+147-634b0e7561ec)
$ hg annotate --follow bar
0: foo
$ hg annotate --follow -f bar
foo: foo

The change was introduced in 98a0421b9e52 (commands: annotate
follows by default, separate -f/--file option)

In issue1593 ("hg annotate -f" writes file names instead of line numbers)
mpm writes:
| This is correct and long-standing behavior (just tested with 0.9.5). -f (follow
| copies) is not very meaningful without a way to display what filename was copied.

I did not find any discussion about this change, I guess this was
done on the sprint.

I think --follow automatically should imply --file.

Additionally --follow should print DEPRECATED, or not?

Thomas

P.S.: I set "Reply-To: mercurial-devel" to move this thread to the
development list.
