The above style is currently used for vc-annotate (Node: Old Versions). If vc-annotate is inconsistent with the rest of the manual, I think that needs to be fixed. We should clean up inconcistency that serves no particular purpose, not extend it. Here I have put that table into our usual format. I have also tried clearing up certain descriptions whose meaning I was not certain of. I am partly guessing (since I don't use this feature), so if any of this is wrong, could someone tell me? @table @kbd @item P Annotate the previous revision, that is to say, the revision before the one currently annotated. A numeric prefix argument is a repeat count, so @kbd{C-u 10 P} would take you back 10 revisions. @item N Annotate the next revision---the one after the revision currently annotated. A numeric prefix argument is a repeat count. @item J Annotate the revision indicated by the current line. @item A Annotate the revision before the one indicated by the current line. This is useful to see the state the file was in before the change on the current line was made. @item D Display the diff between the revision indicated the current line line and the revision before it. This is useful to see what actually changed when the revision indicated by the current line was committed. @item L Show the log of the current line's revision. This is useful to see the author's description of the changes in the revision on the current line. @item W Annotate the workfile version--the one you are editing. If you used @kbd{P} and @kbd{N} to browse to other revisions, use this key to return to the latest version. @end table
