The > latest release is 23.3. Right, I tried it out also with GNU emacs 23.1 (that is the latest version in Kubuntu 10.1) with Xemacs 21.4.22 and 21.5.29 and it failed in all of them. I then tried vc-annotate with different rev version and indeed then I found a critical number such that it worked for all version below this number. I removed the version from the branch via rcs -orev and then vc-annotate worked again! BTW there is no emacs command for rcs -o? So I am not sure what to conclude, maybe I should contact directly the author of that function. Uwe Brauer
