log should show subversion revision numbers as well as branch/bzr revision info

[Nicholas Allen]

I branched from the tracker linux search tool subversion project using bzr. I also did a checkout using svn. I compared the 2 logs and the head revision number in bzr is a few less that the number in subversion. It would be nice if these numbers matched up. I think this is a bug but if not would be interested in why they could be different.

The subversion repo is here: http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/trunk

In bzr the log looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------
revno: 988
committer: asaleem
timestamp: Sat 2007-11-10 05:38:19 +0000
message:

In subversion it looks like this:

Subversion revision numbers are per-repository, Bazaar revision numbers are per-branch. So
perhaps this bug report should be changed to "display svn revision numbers in bzr log" ? See also bug 160605

[Nicholas Allen (nick-allen)]

That makes sense. It would be nice to see the svn revision number in the log like you say. I guess this could be stored as a property on the revision but not sure if Bazaar supports this yet.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Yep, storing it as a revision property would indeed be possible. The main issue would be how hook into the log display code to display this revision property.

What should "bzr log" display? Something like this:

------------------------------------------------------------
revno: 787
svn revno: 34598
committer: Jelmer Vernooij <email address hidden>
branch nick: 0.4
timestamp: Sun 2007-11-11 20:16:06 +0100
message:
  Merge revision specifier support.

[Nicholas Allen (nick-allen)]

I think that would be great ;-)

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Guillermo is working on the required changes in bzr core.

[Martin Albisetti (beuno)]

I'm marking this as invalid as it's related to bzr-svn and bzr.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

reopening the bzr bit of this as it requires changes in bzr core

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Implemented in the 0.4 branch (iff Guillermo's patch is applied).
