Annotate

Use the Annotate command to view the 'history' of the selected file on a per-line basis.

Similar to the Log command (see Log), you can configure the period of time for which the annotated view shall be calculated.

After performing this command, an Annotate window of the selected file will come up. It shows each line prefixed by the line number, revision number, author and date. These values are corresponding to the revision for which the line has been added or has been changed for the last time. You can use the Color By to change the way of the line coloring. With Revision two colors are used, denoting lines older or younger than the selected revision. Age fades colors from blue to red denoting the age of the line. The age itself is either linearily interpolated by the corresponding Revision or by the actual Time. With Author, each line gets the color of its author, where author colors are randomly assigned.
