   1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4
   2.1 2.2

   Anybody knows about a hack to achieve jumping from 2.1 to 1.4.

Here's a quick and dirty hack:

vc-rcs-previous-revision.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp

Tested with:

mkfoo
Description: application/shell-script

and:  C-x C-f /tmp/foo RET
      M->
      C-x v g
      p
      p
      p
      p
      p
      p

It's dirty because it calls rlog(1) directly, sidestepping the VC
abstractions, and what's worse, that info was already laboriously
computed in the process of preparing the annotation buffer, then
discarded (the infelicity is not limited to this function).  :-/
