There's a long standing Trac ticket for that.  There doesn't seem to be
much interest in fixing it, somehow.  The Trac ticket is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/211852 and I see that
I misunderstood at that point thinking that "SUBDIR" worked whereas it
indeed doesn't (basically it only gives info about the changes to the
dir itself, i.e. when it was created and maybe when it was moved or when
its access rights were changed).
I'm pretty sure I saw a bug report about that at some point but can't
find it now.  Feel free to look for it and add your voice to it, or file
a new one.

The corresponding Trac ticket is https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/130588.
Making noise there can't hurt.
