Btw, could we please get rid of this horrible command line syntax.

Pretty much _every_ other git command takes the form

	git cmd [<rev>] [--] <path>

but for some reason annotate and blame (and now pickaxe) do it the wrong 
way around, and do

	git cmd [--] <path> [<rev>]

which is just irritating to somebody who has grown very used to being able 
to specify revisions first.

(I'd actually also like to have a range-modifier, so that I could do

	git annotate --since=2.weeks.ago v2.6.18.. <path>

that didn't go back beyond a certain point, so the command line syntax 
actually _does_ matter - even if we don't support that now, having the 
regular command line syntax means that we -could- support it some day).
