Try "bzr log --line -l100" instead (replace 100 with a larger number
if you want to look farther back).  This takes about 3 seconds on my
box with a cold cache, 1 sec with a warm cache.

Which reminds me: any chance to get bzr+ssh "smart server" any time in
this millenium?

It throws a fatal error because it does not find some revision it
thought it should:

  bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.NoSuchRevision: CHKInventoryRepository('file:///D:/gnu/bzr/emacs/.bzr/repository/') has no revision ('cyd@stupidchicken.com-20090730011415-1ur84cd4r2dats1v',)

"bzr revision-info cyd@stupidchicken.com-20090730011415-1ur84cd4r2dats1v" 
indeed does not find such a revision neither on the trunk nor on the
emacs-23 branch.  What is that revision, and why did it disappear?
Does it mean our repository is corrupted?
