I tried "bzr annotate" for the first time.  I felt it will be more
useful than looking for a log message and a revno in the output of
"bzr log" (and then comparing revno-1..revno).  I have two local
copies of Emacs, emacs/trunk and emacs/emacs-24; I verified "bzr
annotate" done in emacs/emacs-24 shows helpful informations, too.

Thank you.
