How is the annotation done? With "blame" without frills? It may be interesting to run: git blame -w -n -f -C -- $path which would give you the code movement (ignoring whitespace changes) across files, so that you can view where the line really originated from. You can also throw in -L line range limiter like this: git blame -L$lineno-10,+20 -w -n -f -C -- $path which would limit the output to lines around the current line, and that would be slightly less expensive than annotating the whole file, if you do this on-demand. E.g. $ git blame -L48,+20 -w -n -f -C -- block/blk-exec.c would give you something like: 165125e1 block/ll_rw_blk.c 2585 (Jens Axboe 2007-07-2... f1970baf drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 2255 (James Bottomley 2005-06-2... 8ffdc655 block/ll_rw_blk.c 2320 (Tejun Heo 2006-01-0... f1970baf drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 2257 (James Bottomley 2005-06-2... f1970baf drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 2258 (James Bottomley 2005-06-2... f1970baf drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 2259 (James Bottomley 2005-06-2... f1970baf drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 2260 (James Bottomley 2005-06-2... 4aff5e23 block/ll_rw_blk.c 2530 (Jens Axboe 2006-08-1... f1970baf drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 2262 (James Bottomley 2005-06-2... 4c5d0bbd block/ll_rw_blk.c 2480 (Andrew Morton 2006-03-2... 4c5d0bbd block/ll_rw_blk.c 2481 (Andrew Morton 2006-03-2... 4c5d0bbd block/ll_rw_blk.c 2482 (Andrew Morton 2006-03-2... 4c5d0bbd block/ll_rw_blk.c 2483 (Andrew Morton 2006-03-2... 4c5d0bbd block/ll_rw_blk.c 2484 (Andrew Morton 2006-03-2... f1970baf drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 2265 (James Bottomley 2005-06-2... 6e39b69e block/ll_rw_blk.c 2309 (Mike Christie 2005-11-1... 6e39b69e block/ll_rw_blk.c 2310 (Mike Christie 2005-11-1... 637b48c8 drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 1872 (Jens Axboe 2004-03-1... 637b48c8 drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 1873 (Jens Axboe 2004-03-1... 637b48c8 drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c 1874 (Jens Axboe 2004-03-1... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
