??? When did you last use "git annotate"? and on what project? That
command is notoriously slow in git. E.g., it takes a whopping 4.5
minutes to run on a particularly large and history-rich file in the
Emacs repository. That's a lot of time to wait, too long for everyday
usage. (I understand that having annotate slow was a deliberate
design decision, because git designer(s) consider that command
unnecessary.)
