vc-switches does check `vc-annotate-switches' (as it checks
vc-OP-switches for any other OP and BACKEND), so we are hiding
information from the user.

The whole problem consists on a generic approach (vc-OP-switches) that
doesn't play nice for some (all?) OPs. So we either get rid of
`vc-OP-switches' entirely or warn the user about its pitfalls.

(Is there an OP where `vc-OP-switches' works well across more than two
supported backends?)
