Pretty much _every_ other git command takes the form git cmd [] [--] but for some reason annotate and blame (and now pickaxe) do it the wrong way around, and do git cmd [--] [] 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.. 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).
