Incidentally, why are we concentrating on "bzr log"? is that a
frequent operation?  With CVS, I find myself doing "cvs log" only once
in a few months, when I'm looking for a change corresponding to some
ChangeLog entry.

Aren't "push" and "pull" much more important, as far as speed is
concerned, for everyday work?  Also the equivalent of "cvs diff", I
think.  Those are the ops I use much more frequently than "log" and
"annotate".
