Easy: if it hurts, don't do it.
The log command you used does not tell you "the latest revision that
changed src/xdisp.c", so if you're looking for this latest revision, use
something else, like bzr annotate.
You can complain about the way we do current emacs-23 merges, but these
aren't really special (even though we use a few hacks in bzrmerge.el,
these are just to help resolve some of the conflicts that would arise
from a plain "bzr merge").
The same kind of problems will show up with many other merges.
The problem is not in the way those branches were handled or how the
merge was done: the problem is that the request you use will not tell
you quite what you're looking for (although it may occasionally do).
