CVS and something like switch? Forget about ;) I know my CVS usage is
kind of outdated but I really wonder how open source people could live
with that system for such a long time :)

Hmm, given that CVS also has this I think we should add it. I can't
recall, but I guess this was dropped in the early theoretic discussions.

Also CVS does this only on local files too, I'm tempted to but it into
IBasicVC and take it local files only (remote stuff can be done in
IFooVcs), unless somebody knows a VCS that doesn't have annotate
(eclipse has this too in its classes, IIRC, which suggests that quite a
bunch have this feature).

A quick google search turns up that clearcase and git have this too.

About return value: cvs and svn can return revision, date and author,
does that fit into one of the classes used for change/log?

Oh and a last one: does perforce support specifying a revision? CVS, svn
and git support that, clearcase seems to not support it (at least
there's no option for that). Does it make sense that the plugin ignores
the revision if it the system doesn't support that? Or is that too much
magic behind the scenes?
