File Log window context menu disables "revert" "update" and "cherrypick" menu items in a lightweight checkout

[Toby Dickenson]

* Open a lightweight checkout in bazaar explorer
* find any file in the Working Tree
* right-click, show log
* right-click on a revision
* The "show file differences", "show all differences", "show tree", and "tag revision" entries are present, however "revert to this revision", "update to this revision", and "reverse cherry pick" are disabled.

I believe this is a bug because those items are not disabled:

a. If this is an ordinary checkout, not a lightweight checkout

b. when right clicking on the same revision in a log of the whole branch (ie from the "Log" button on the toolbar)

This is intended behavior because lightweight checkout is very special, and operations you listed affects the master branch of the checkout, not the checkout itself. So I don't think we want allwo actions which have so dangerous side-effects, sorry.

Thanks for taking the time to consider my bug report. A 'revert to this revision' action affecting the master branch would indeed be undesirable, however that is not what I am requesting. I think a 'revert to this revision' action affecting only the local checkout belongs in this menu.

An action with this behavior is already present when right-clicking on a revision in the whole branch log window.

Indeed this is why I considered this a bug, rather than an enhancement request: It seems inconsistent that the 'revert to this revision' action is not always present when right-clicking on a revision in a log window.

I therefore suggest that this bug is not Invalid.

Thanks again for your time.
