My apologies, you're right.  I guess I assumed C-u C-x v g wouldn't work
in an annotation buffer, but since it does, my new function seems a
little less useful.

I will still use vc-annotate-chosen-version because I can cut down on
keystrokes by binding it to a single key in vc-annotate-mode-map (easily
- no prefix arg needed), and emacs users who don't know elisp might
appreciate this too.  But if the consensus is that it's not generally
useful enough to be included in emacs, I'll just keep it in my own
.emacs file.

Thanks,
