Thanks!
Hm, I see, what is the difference then to annotate?

BTW I just found in vc-hg-region-history-mode



(define-derived-mode vc-hg-region-history-mode
    vc-hg-log-view-mode "Hg-Region-History"
  "Major mode to browse Hg's \"log -p\" output."

But this seems to be a different beast

I try to contact some mercurial guru.
