It's worse: if the commit is not in the current branch it won't be listed at all, and `C-x v L` doesn't let you show the log corresponding to another branch. If `C-x v l` accepted a C-u to specify the "revision" for which to show the log, then it would solve both problems: you could get the log of other branches and you could see the commit message and the diff of a specific REVision with: C-u C-x v l RET followed by hitting `D` on the first element to see the diff -- Stefan
