+NAME
+----
+git-annotate - Annotate file lines with commit information
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git annotate' [options] file [revision]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Annotates each line in the given file with information from the commit
+which introduced the line. Optionally annotates from a given revision.
+
+The only difference between this command and linkgit:git-blame[1] is that
+they use slightly different output formats, and this command exists only
+for backward compatibility to support existing scripts, and provide a more
+familiar command name for people coming from other SCM systems.
