Not to advertise, but qgit has already that from ages.

Annotate algorithm of qgit is little different in that it starts from the oldest revision that modified a file and goes to the latest. In this way we can have the whole file history annotated in one pass and very fast.

Currently the slowest steps are, from fastest to slowest:

1 - annotating the files 2 - getting the file history 3 - getting the corrisponding patches (in case of long histories)

Thanks for your patience. Marco
