Am I the only one that thinks that vc-annotate's upper case commands are
annoying? 
To do a diff from vc-log you use 'd', from vc-annotate you do 'D' 

Is using upper case letters because of using view-mode? (if Miles'
replacement view-mode get's installed, vc-annotate should use it in an
instant).
Of vc-diff, vc-log and vc-annotate only vc-annotate uses upper case key
bindings...

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Now looking a bit in more details: 
l, j and v are not used by view-mode so they could be easily used for 
vc-annotate-revision-at-line, vc-annotate-show-log-revision-at-line and
vc-annotate-toggle-annotation-visibility, respectively.

d would be nice to use for vc-annotate-show-diff-revision-at-line, but
view-mode uses it.
What is the most elegant way to make the 'd' binding work despite
view-mode?
(IMO we should just not use view-mode in this case, does it provide any
interesting advantage?)

Thoughts?

view-mode has lots of "features", which eat up bindings, and I suspect
almost nobody ever uses...

If the view-mode replacement that you posted recently is added, I'd be
happy to make vc-annotate use it.
Meanwhile, is there any problem with not using view-mode at all?
