May I ask why you want to rename it?  I guess it could cause other
problems.

That probably comes from `vc-annotate' calling
`with-output-to-temp-buffer'.  I don't recall why it had been decided
that this macro performs help-mode setup, but it does.

You could look at the buffer name?  The answer depends on the set of
cases you want to handle.
