Annotate invoked on folder shows output dialog where is only one tab (not necessary to show) with all annotated files in one big file. Line numbers are thus incorrect starting from second file. Better solution is to show separated tabs for each file in dir or use tree and one common result panel.
Scheduling to NB 4.0.
I don't see this as a showstopper. Justification: not frequent action with workaround available: do it per files.
Priority decrease.
Well, it's possible to implement the annotate of folders for built-in CVS client, but not for command-line CVS due to unsynchronized standard and error output. However the javacvs library behaves in a similar way, so a special interface would be needed. However after issue #35999 we may be able to solve this for both CVS clients. So I suggest to leave Annotate disabled on folders and defer the solution after issue #35999 is implemented. Decreasing priority to P4 - this is not so severe problem IMHO.

should be fixed in 3.6
The problem was "resolved" by removal of Annotate command from folders. It will be possible to implement Annotate on folders on JDK 1.5, where standard and error streams can be merged.
