You can pass "--compatibility" to git-blame to get output which is
identical to git-annotates output. However, "--time" is not
implemented in git-blame yet. I will send a patch in a separate mail.

git-blame is a bit faster than git-annotate and, as far as I know, it
produces output which is correct.
