For that case, Emacs should have a command that prompts for an ID (defaulting to the ID under point), and then (unless default-directory is already in a vc-controlled directory), prompts for the directory to look for that ID, and then display the commit. Stefan M also commented: > 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 This would be a separate change, because it can also be useful to see a commit in context.
