2012-05-31 17:55 AEST by Arthur Barrett - After viewing the lighttable proposal on kickstarter, I was inspired to think that the IDE could be 
improved to show/hint history (changes).

So in Eclipse or Visual Studio - when you highlight a 'verb' you may see help text related to that in a 
little 'post it note' type window (usually yellow)

What if when you highlight a line it shows you the 'annotate' information, eg:
last committed: agb, March 1, 2011, bug 1234, @1234fbc1278 "solve the runaway loop issue"

If the annotate is from CVSNT (not CVS) then the bug and commitid's could offer 'links' to take you to 
either:
* the bug
* a list of other files/lines with that same bugid
* a list of other files/lines with that same commitid



In theory the VSIP integration may allow us to do this (SCCI wouldn't).  Also we could (theoretically) add 
it to Eclipse (editor).

We could modify CVSNT to automatically create a local annotate file (in CVS\Base?) on checkout/update 
so you don't have to keep going back and forth to the server...
