Bug Description
Ian, recently I've asked you about Annotate menu and you decided to remove it completely. I have new use case and new ideas about this menu item.
bzr explorer can provide this feature in 2 steps:
1) When user selects menu "Annotate file..." then standard Open File dialog should be invoked (with current dir at tree basedir). Then user can select the file it's interested to annotate.
2) bzr explorer (BzrE) will invoke qannotate then passing it selected filename.
As another variant we can implement `qannotate --select-file` in QBzr. What do you think?

I'd like qannotate to not require a file on the command line.
The user should be able to select a file to annotate inside qannotate
itself, both on start-up and after browsing another file.
I'll happily put Annotate back on the menu once that feature exists.
