I see what you mean; it behaves analogously to log, just
working on the RCS file. It would make a certain amount
of sense to pass in the sticky. If you are sticky at
revision 1.5, or on a branch, you probably want annotate
to dig backward starting from 1.5. On the other hand,
what if you are sticky to something that is a moving target,
i.e. a branch? Should annotate then start with the closest repository
revision, or the latest?
