@findex vc-annotate
@kindex C-x v g
  For some backends, you can display the file @dfn{annotated} with
per-line version information and using colors to enhance the visual
appearance, with the the command @kbd{M-x vc-annotate}.
It creates a new buffer
to display file's text, colored to show how old each part is.  Text
colored red is new, blue means old, and intermediate colors indicate
intermediate ages.  By default, the time scale is 360 days, so that
everything more than one year old is shown in blue.

  The command @kbd{M-x compare-windows} compares the text in the current
window with that in the next window.  Comparison starts at point in each
window, and each starting position is pushed on the mark ring in its
respective buffer.  Then point moves forward in each window, a character
at a time, until a mismatch between the two windows is reached.  Then
the command is finished.  For more information about windows in Emacs,
@ref{Windows}.

@vindex compare-ignore-case
@vindex compare-ignore-whitespace
  With a numeric argument, @code{compare-windows} ignores changes in
whitespace.  If the variable @code{compare-ignore-case} is

  The command @kbd{M-x compare-windows} compares the text in the current

window, and each starting position is pushed on the mark ring in its
respective buffer.  Then point moves forward in each window, a character
at a time, until a mismatch between the two windows is reached.  Then
the command is finished.  Another invocation of this command with
points on mismatching positions tries to skip non-matching text and
move points forward, until a match between the two windows is reached.
