Ok, I had some problem with installing haskeline/terminfo so I given up 
building and verifying it.
The patch is attached. It is public domain. Don't hesitate to commit as 
yourself to save a bit of time :)

Yes, that would do it too. I do not recall any more how CVS annotate 
output looked like but I think it was similar to git's one (commit info 
at the start of each line). Since patch names can be long in darcs that 
would mean to limit them. Probably first column being a space if the 
line not affected by the selected patch, or + if line added by the 
selected patch, or - when removed by the selected patch (as unified diff 
does), then timestamp/date then lets say first 50 chars of the patch 
name and then the source code. More details if needed can be retrieved 
with "darcs changes".
Yeah, would be better.

Thanks,
Peter.
