I notice that it takes a LONG time if I run "darcs annotate compiler/types/Type.lhs" in a checkout of http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-hashedrepo/. It looks like darcs is trying to read every patch ever, which is understandable but not very desirable... Perhaps it would be a good idea to have an option to only annotate based on the last n patches (either that touched this file or just the last n from the inventory...)

Thanks for the report, Sam. I agree this would be nice to improve.

It sounds like this may be useful with or without performance problems.
