It's even worse for Git.

Using vc-annotate on a file under Git gives me a buffer where the first
90 columns are taken up with Git output. The actual file itself is
pushed completely off the right.

e95a67dc lisp/emacs-lisp/syntax.el (Stefan Monnier          2012-04-26
08:43:28  -0400   1)  ;;; syntax.el

By contrast in bzr only 21 columns are used.


The "lisp/emacs-lisp/syntax.el " bit seems useless to me.
The bzr version uses a truncated email address rather than a full name.
The Git date field seems way too specific.
The line numbers are totally unnecessary.
