Yeah, after a lot (really) of reflection, this seems like the least
awful thing, barring some sort of flag to annotate that allows
skipping revisions in a revset (so the invasive b'' prefixing required
could then be elided from annotate results.)

(I still think such a flag is a good idea, but am willing to not let
the perfect be the enemy of the not-awful.)

What's the status of this series? It looks like I expect a new version
to cope with some docstring encoding issues?
