How to identify who wrote each line of code

I have a feeling this feature exists and I'm just not aware of it, but... given a file from a CVS repository, is there some way in Eclipse to show next to each line of that file the last person to edit it?



EDIT: found it. use source > show annotation. details here. it's not the prettiest UI for it (not as nice as in Visual Studio) but it should get the job done.
 
isn't visual source safe just a different source control system?

this must be doable with CVS - all the data is available...
 
Yea, VSS is MS' VCS so it's not relevant here at all. I'm sure there's a way to get a set of annotated the code from the commits but no clue if Eclipse can do it for you.
 
You can get a history of versions, but I think you're asking for too much to get authorship for each line. You could probably assemble the information from the commit accounts and diff for forensic purposes, if really necessary.
 
i did some freelance stuff a year or two ago for a client who's dev team used svn
before i started working the manager explained that they have very strict coding standards and every commit needs to be commented in a specific format

the format was "### - Developer Name"
(with ### being the line number or line numbers. change descriptions weren't to be put in the commit comments at all)

I thought about trying to explain how retarded and useless it was...but i implemented my changes, cashed in and called it a day.
