   For some back ends, you can display the file @dfn{annotated} with
 per-line version information and using colors to enhance the visual

-It creates a new buffer (the ``annotate buffer'') displaying the
-file's text, with each part colored to show how old it is.  Text
-colored red is new, blue means old, and intermediate colors indicate
-intermediate ages.  By default, the time scale is 360 days, so that
-everything more than one year old is shown in blue.
