5.5  The Annotated Listing Window

When you left click on a Monotone Browser window's Annotate File Contents button you will be presented with a window like the one shown below.

Figure 5-5  An Annotated Listing Window

The Annotated Listing window shows the revision and author responsible for each line of text within a file, along with the date on which that change was made.

If one right clicks on the window then a menu pops up that allows you to perform certain actions on the revision responsible for the text directly under the mouse cursor. These menu options do the following:
