Why not use "git blame -c -w"?  `-c' turns on annotate-compatibile
output.

From git-annotate(1) manpage:

   The only difference between this command and git-blame(1) is that they  use
   slightly  different  output formats, and this command exists only for back-
   ward compatibility to support existing scripts, and provide a more familiar
   command name for people coming from other SCM systems.

This is usual behavior on this list.

scanning the man pages.

Somebody may want to compare git-blame.txt and git-annotate.txt in
Documentation/, notice that they share blame-options.txt and that the
former has accumulated option descriptions for a few more options that
should have been placed in blame-options.txt, and then prepare a patch to
improve the documentation?  Hint, hint...

I *think* '-c', '-f', and '-n' are blame-only options but all others would
work with annotate (whoever is doing the patch needs to verify this,
though).
