Annotate is behaving as you describe and I have updated the XML diff  
file (at http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/Temp/fossil.diff). I  
submitted a documentation ticket  
(http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktview/a182bd01a9c8dde66b1f55637b0a3e23c4099b02)
 against the fact that the description provided by 'fossil help annotate' does 
not reflect the exhibited  
behavior.

Yes. This capability is provided with the
'fossil annotate' command as well as through the
built-in web interface.
