The context menu on the editor ruler contains an entry "Show Revision Information" that enables blame annotations on the ruler sidebar. This entry should be a toggle like the "Quick Diff" entry right above it.

Currently, it just enables the blame annotations and causes an additional "Revisions" submenu to appear below it. It stays available in the context menu without any status indication and essentially does nothing. Removing the blame annotations has to be done through the separate "Hide Revision Information" entry in the submenu. This is not very intuitive.

Instead, "Show Revision Information" should become a toggle that enables and disables the blame annotations and shows its status with a check mark. The "Hide Revision Information" action can then be removed.
