Is this one definitely a > blocker for us, or just a nice-to-have? Some parts of emacs are maintained in a different place, (Gnus and org come to mind, but probably there's more). Not being able to do a bzr log on a subdir might be a big problem for those projects (or for Miles that handles merging). You might want to ask them directly. Now _IMHO_, a VCS that cannot do a log operation on a subdirectory is a non-starter for anything that has subdirectories.
