Thanks.

Now looking a bit in more details: 
l, j and v are not used by view-mode so they could be easily used for 
vc-annotate-revision-at-line, vc-annotate-show-log-revision-at-line and
vc-annotate-toggle-annotation-visibility, respectively.

d would be nice to use for vc-annotate-show-diff-revision-at-line, but
view-mode uses it.
What is the most elegant way to make the 'd' binding work despite
view-mode?
(IMO we should just not use view-mode in this case, does it provide any
interesting advantage?)

Thoughts?
