Comment 3 for bug 556347

Hello Martin, thanks for the answer. Given that "bzr log -rX" fails if X is not in the branch, and I saw "bzr viz" as just a graphical "bzr log", yes I find it surprising that it happily shows X which isn't in the branch. This is made even more confusing by the fact that the title of the "viz" GUI window is the branch's directory, which suggests to the innocent that X is in this branch.
Let's look at "bzr help viz":
  Opens a graphical window to allow you to see the history of the branch
  and relationships between revisions in a visual manner,

  The default starting point is latest revision on the branch, you can
  specify a starting point with -r revision.
It says "see the history of *the branch*", not "the shared repository".

If the current behaviour really has to stay, could you please make sure it's documented in "bzr help viz"? Thanks.
