                  ^^^^^^^^^
Is this actually  ../emacs/trunk  ?

(Could you please update the website with these instructions? A good
place would be after the place where you talk about downloading the
.tar.gz file, they are very useful)

BTW, how fast is "bzr annotate" supposed to be?

time bzr annotate vc.el >& /dev/null
133.673u 2.392s 2:23.78 94.6%   0+0k 39864+16io 1pf+0w

The similar command for  Emacs CVS HEAD:
time cvs annotate vc.el >& /dev/null
0.250u 0.064s 0:03.22 9.6%      0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

Thanks a lot for doing all this!
