minibuffer. First, you may enter a version number; then the buffer
displays and annotates that version instead of the current version
\(type RET in the minibuffer to leave that default unchanged). Then,
-you are prompted for a stretch factor for the time scale. This makes
-the color range cover a time span longer or shorter than the default
-of one year. For example, a factor of 0.1 means that the range from
-red to blue stands for the past 36 days only, and everything that is
-older than that is shown in blue.
+you are prompted for the time span in days which the color range
+should cover. For example, a time span of 20 days means that changes
+over the past 20 days are shown in red to blue, according to their
+age, and everything that is older than that is shown in blue.
