For me it is. Every time I change some code that I am not 100% sure I
know, I do a vc-annotate and then from the *vc-annotate* buffer vc-log
and vc-diff on the "interesting" lines.

diff is surely much more frequent than "log" and "annotate", but it also
takes more than a minute with bzr (much slower than CVS).
