"annotate" is a highly inefficient way to solve this task.

I may suggest to get "axp" and use "axp history" command that works on
local tree logs. Then you may run the following line:

  for file in `tla inventory -s -B`; echo $file; \
    axp history --date $file | head -2 | tail -1; end

that should print the recorded last modified time of every file,
directory and symlink in arbitrary arch-controlled tree. Renames of
parent directories and all other complex cases should be handled
correctly. You may omit "-B" from "inventory" to exclude directories.

[axp also has "annotate" command that may dive into ancestry branches
and archives, and has interesting unique features, but as I said,
"annotate" is very inefficient for your task, it requires repository.]
