Code review comment for lp:~amanica/bzr/log_returns_too_much

Sorry for taking months and months to get to this review. It's been a crazy time for me. I'll try to find some time now to work with you towards a solution we're both happy with.

To be honest, I use qlog almost exclusively these days so I'm less passionate than what I was about how log behaves on the command line. I do agree that #325618 is a real bug, though I'm not sure I'm comfortable changing default behaviour to fix it. I certainly think "bzr log -n0 -rX" ought to show the merged revisions for X, so if this patch alters that, I'd vote against it.

On a semi-related topic, if we are going to allow/encourage alternative behaviour wrt revision range semantics in log, I like the idea of adding an option called something like --exclude-lower as Eric suggested.

In your opinion, is it possible to fix this bug without changing semantics?
