Actually, I guess you also meant "and who sometimes use older versions of Git", since the --no-annotate is there for people who always use the new version.

I don't think we can do anything for it. Any patch that introduces a new command-line option has the same issue. The only solution is on the user side: use only features that work for all versions of Git you use. In this case, it means "wait for all your machines to upgrade Git before setting sendemail.annotate".
