sure, the main issue we have is that winehq runs cvsweb as the web cvs
frontend, and cvsweb only supports annotation under the condition I
posted (IOW, it doesn't implement the annotate feature - on WWW side -
with cvs annotate). But you're right on the constraints we get.
so either check if a newer cvsweb implements annotate with cvs annotate,
or we hack cvsweb to get what we want/need...
