Nope. The missing part is what lines are affected by a specific
change. I don't see any cert with that kind of information, so you
basically end up doing a series of diffs.
CVS and RCS does the annotate part quickly because the repository file
format contains information about exactly which lines are changed in
every change, so all the server part needs to do is to read that file
and do all the calculations. I've no idea what the requirements to do
the same thing is for svn, but it's obviously not quite that easy. If
we added an annotate to monotone, I'm not at all sure how it would be
handled, as I currently have no clue what the deltas really contain.
Cheers,
Richard
