Annotate file from Manifest tab
Created originally on Bitbucket by agxbob (Bob Maguire)
Maybe I'm just not seeing an easy alternative to this, but I'd like to be able to annotate a file from the manifest tab for whatever revision I currently have selected. This is usually because the file is no longer being tracked and thus not in my working directory (otherwise I'd just annotate and jump to the revision I want), but I'm jumping through legacy code to diagnose an issue.
The only way I've been able to do this through the UI is by using the search tab on the current revision, searching for "." with only first match turned on, and an include pattern matching the file name I'm interested. Then in the search results, I can right-click the file and pick Annotate, which gets me want I want. Convoluted, but it works.
