Comment 8 for bug 893509

> I continue to think that "bzr help log" is contradicting the behaviour of "searching in the repository", and this help text should be amended.

Right, let's focus the bug on this then.

The fix could be as simple as what jelmer suggested:

> when you specify -rX is "please show me the branch that has tip X".

I don't think we should restrict log to the current branch and adding a
warning if the revision(s) displayed are not part of the branch history will
hurt performance (which is still not stellar for log).

> If -r is filtering, then "bzr log -rX" should be a subset of "bzr
  log". Which it isn't: actually "bzr log" will show me the branch's log,
  and "bzr log -rX" will show me X which it isn't in the branch - it's not a
  subset.

Should be addressed to.

Thanks for your patience Guilhem ;)
