- When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
- changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
- This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
- tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
- <code>-</code> to make the command read from the standard input).
+ Pretend the file being annotated has a commit with the
+ contents from the named file and a parent of <rev>,
+ defaulting to HEAD when no <rev> is specified. You may
+ specify <em>-</em> to make the command read from the standard
+ input for the file contents.
