(It's related to my work anyway.) Plese convey to the bzr developers that the "log" command could use some improvements: 1. it only takes a single file as argument 2. bzr log SUBDIR does not seem to DTRT, it should show the logs for all things in that subdir, instead it seems to show only one entry Also the headers for "diff" should show the versions, if you do a C-x v = for 2 random versions, then save that buffer, there's no way to see what versions the diff came from. IMHO this is crucial to have. I only have bzr 1.7 so maybe things have improved meanwhile...
