I only had a very quick glance, but one "problem" is that vc-annotate assumes that what you want to do is to run an annotate/blame command and show the output in another buffer. My solution is a minor-mode that shows the blame directly in the edit buffer, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to convince vc that this is what I want. And I need a way to turn it off again, and maybe some local key bindings when it is active. This all points to the fact that a minor mode is really the thing to use. So maybe I should simply rebind C-x v g to git-blame-mode instead of vc-annotate...
