For example, if I'm visiting non-current revision 997 of a particular
file, in a buffer called file.~997~, and I run vc-annotate, it shows
the current revision. Instead, it would be good if it defaulted to
revision 997. (I'd suggest that this is likely what users expect;
wanting to default to the current revision, I'd start from the
up-to-date buffer, in this case, "file").
