Comment 7 for bug 1072513

The confusion seems to have come up a few times that this bug is saying "'log DIR' should show changes to files under DIR, not just DIR itself". That's not the case; for one thing, that's already long since the way bzr works (bug 97715, bzr.dev:4206, released in 1.14).

This bug is that, given particular graph shapes, revs that SHOULD show up don't. By taking out some of the --unchanged commits (and thus changing the shape), they DO show up, showing that it's something specific to the history shape, not a general issue in the command.

Also see the case where uncommenting the "mk_dir=false" in the script (and thus working with a file instead of a dir) gives the same result with "log -v", though not without. This shows that it's not specific to dirs either; consideration of the similarities between "log -v FILE" and "log [-v] DIR" may point in a fruitful direction.
