Show Missing action on a branch.

[Craig Hewetson]

Feature Request:

The user would like to open his checkout or branch from bzr explorer and then see what revisions he/she is missing.

Recommendation:
Add an action to the "Explore" menu, called: "Missing Revisions".

Implementation:
On clicking the action run bzr qlog <x> :parent
where <x> is the current branch.

This is a nice idea. Thanks for the suggestion and merge proposal. I'll take a look.

The only problem their might be is if the parent and the bound branch is different and the user is expecting the missing revisions to be checked with the bound branch and not the parent.

The action could be menu action with sub-actions:
Missing Revisions -> Parent
                             -> Bound
                             -> Push
                             -> Other...

Where Other will open a dialog and allow the user to specify a url or browsable location on disk etc.

The idea would be that if parent, bound or push doesn't exist then they don't get displayed as an option.

I'd probably prefer a single menu option that launches a dialog that allows the user to select the branch to log against. Parent, etc. could be radio buttons.

Ok a dialog sounds good.

This can now be done via custom tools
