It's more like `cvs annotate' than like what I'm looking for, although it is
a bit better than `cvs annotate' since it does show some previous contents.

But its horizon is limited to the current branch (it doesn't cross `tags')
and IIRC it also requires a complete revlib, whereas the info I'm thinking
of can be efficiently extracted directly from the archives (i.e. from the
changesets).  This last point makes it even more interesting: not only I'd
find it more useful, but it fits the Arch model better.
