It can also be used for another file.  I think we just need to add
a variable that stores the "it's a log" info, along the one that stores the
file's name.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.  If the commits are done via VC,
they'll overwrite the *vc* buffer so it's safe.  And even if it somehow
does not happen, it's rather unlikely that the user will be bothered by the
lack of some brand new commits: when using vc-annotate you're typically
looking at past changes.  And you can always add a `revert-buffer-function'
such that the user can refresh explicitly the log info.
