So:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr-pqm/bzr/bzr.dev/annotate/head:/bzr

Works. I'm guessing that NEWS is failing just because NEWS is a really
big and really old file (lots of history, lots of text to annotate).

I count 6060 changes to NEWS, and it is a 473kB file. Digging a bit, it
accounts for 6.2MB of compressed content, and 1.37GB of uncompressed
content.

'bzr annotate NEWS > /dev/null' takes 37.5s. And I think that is longer
than the timeout on Loggerhead.

I believe there is already an open bug that we should allow you to have
a way to get the content of a file without having to request its annotation.

Anyway, I don't know if you used to be able to do this, but I wouldn't
be surprised if the annotate view of NEWS has never worked.

I would say you could use the 'download' link, but it appears that
requires knowing the file-id.
