Hi Zooko,
We're painfully aware of the suffering that darcs annotate and show
contents can cause.

For the interested, here is the latest status on this bug:
http://bugs.darcs.net/msg9192 (issue1447 update 2009-11).
The bad news: I'm afraid our attention is focused on other performance
issues right now. Petr has been squashing hashed-storage regressions
(rah!). For Darcs 2.5 we have a few other issues closer to the front of
the queue.
In case it helps: this performance issue is important to us too. We
don't have an online browser for the GHC repository for exactly this
reason - when we enabled it in Trac it brought the server to its knees.
I think I've become desensitized to the lack of annotate, which in some
ways is a bit sad. I would love to be able to annotate a source file
from within Emacs at the press of a key or two, and navigate the history
interactively. You can do this with git, incedentally - I tried it on
the git import of GHC and it's wonderful. I'd probably use it all the
time if we had it.
The times I do need some kind of annotate I usually resort to 'darcs cha
-v | more' and search.
Cheers,
Simon
