So I guess you would need to run cvs annotate for each year:
e.g
cvs annotate -D 2004-12-31 cmacexp.el > cmacexp04.ann
grep "..-...-04" cmacexp04.ann | wc
cvs annotate -D 2003-12-31 cmacexp.el > cmacexp03.ann
grep "..-...-03" cmacexp03.ann | wc
It would seem that it can't be done mechanically, so maybe the (lisp) code
could invoke vc-annotate in some way for manual inspection.
