OK, so let's stick to master.  It's a known limitation in git that it
is hard to access after the file was moved.  Maybe I don't understand
what you're saying, but this limitation in git is exactly why we are
avoiding moving files in the first place.

Could you explain how you carry out archeology on etc/NEWS.27?  How do
I find out who introduced this line:

** Emacs now uses GMP, the GNU Multiple Precision library.

I haven't ever had to specify a commit SHA with vc-annotate.

By the way, I realize I was being unfair to vc-annotate.  There are in
fact a number of commands that make going through history very
convenient, such as vc-annotate-next-revision,
vc-annotate-prev-revision, and vc-annotate-revision-at-line.
