Well I hoped one could generate coloring which reflects changes within
the day, but display the time format deleting the hours and minutes but
it seems not to be possible.

Well but I still think it were better to display changes which occur
within a day.

By revision number do you mean the changeset or the internal local
revision number which hg assigns to its commits but git does not? If it
is the former, maybe that would be a more appropriate model for
vc-annotate?

I did not use the word bug, I was asked to send a bug report in order to
find out whether there is a bug.
