That's just a (fixable) problem in your coding setup. In other
projects it is very common to use tools like cvs annotate / cvsps /
git blame / git log / etc. to find the reasons for why code is the way
it is. In fact in several editors these can be functions on hot
keys. Programming is hard enough as is without ignoring such valuable
information sources. Don't do it.
