Subject: bug#17945: 24.4.50; vc-git-annotate-command is too slow

C-x v g on a git file is very slow, compare this:

    $ time git --no-pager  blame  -- vc-annotate.el 1>/dev/null

    real    0m1.432s
    user    0m1.364s
    sys    0m0.063s

    $ time git --no-pager  blame -C -C  -- vc-annotate.el 1>/dev/null

    real    0m23.477s
    user    0m22.058s
    sys    0m1.405s

It seems the -C -C options would slow down git hugely, making this
command almost useless.  Can we remove it from default option list?
