Help: annotate
hg annotate [-r REV] [-f] [-a] [-u] [-d] [-n] [-c] [-l] FILE...
aliases: blame
show changeset information by line for each file
List changes in files, showing the revision id responsible for each line.
This command is useful for discovering when a change was made and by whom.
If you include --file, --user, or --date, the revision number is suppressed unless you also include --number.
Without the -a/--text option, annotate will avoid processing files it detects as binary. With -a, annotate will annotate the file anyway, although the results will probably be neither useful nor desirable.
Returns 0 on success.
