+ Without the -a option, annotate will avoid processing files it
+ detects as binary. With -a, annotate will generate an annotation
+ anyway, probably with undesirable results.
options:
+ -a, --text treat all files as text
-I, --include <pat> include names matching the given patterns
-X, --exclude <pat> exclude names matching the given patterns
-r, --revision <rev> annotate the specified revision
