New bzr log format: --line with info about merged branches

[Maarten Bosmans]

I would like the possibility to see not only the revisions of the current branch, but also all the revisions that are merged in. This information is shown with the --long format, but I would like it to work with --line and --short.
This would probably be the most effective when the branch nick is also shown in the short logs.

There is a patch on the mailing list for this. See http://bundlebuggy.aaronbentley.com/project/bzr/request/%3C49798D72.1060107%40internode.on.net%3E.

Very nice.
I saw that you were already discussing this on the mailinglist before I reported the enhancement request. The option of giving the number of levels with -n is very good.

The only remaining request is whether it is possible to show the branch nick with --line and --short. I think it would be a sane default to only include the branch nick when the -n option is specified. This way there is no change in output for just bzr log --line and bzr log --short, so current scripts/tools don't break.
