For CVS-controlled files, you can display the result of the CVS
annotate command, using colors to enhance the visual appearance. Use
the command @kbd{M-x vc-annotate} to do this. Red means new, blue
means old, and intermediate colors indicate intermediate ages. By
default, the time scale is 360 days, so that everything more than one
year old is shown in blue. Giving a prefix argument @var{n} to this
command multiplies the time scale by @var{n}, so that all text over
@var{n} years old is shown in blue.
the command @kbd{M-x vc-annotate} to do this. It creates a new buffer
to display file's text, colored to show how old each part is. Text
colored red is new, blue means old, and intermediate colors indicate
intermediate ages. By default, the time scale is 360 days, so that
everything more than one year old is shown in blue.
When you give a prefix argument to this command, it uses the
minibuffer to read two arguments: which version number to display and
annotate (instead of the current file contents), and a stretch factor
for the time scale. A stretch factor of 0.1 means that the color
range from red to blue spans the past 36 days instead of 360 days. A
stretch factor greater than 1 means the color range spans more than a
year.
