bzr-tiplog in a local branch

[Brian de Alwis]

Thanks for the feedback, Eli.  It'd be helpful if you submitted bugs for the bugs.  I'll get around to them when I have some time.

I guess the first line of my commit messages have been long enough so that the remainder is truncated before being shown.  I need to do some processing to strip out the first line.

Tiplog doesn't use the log formatter.  The person shown isn't the committer, but the perpetrator who caused the action on the branch.

(Tiplog *does* show the first line of the log message, and so should be very close to --line.)

Contributions always appreciated :)

The action shown ('push', 'pull', 'commit', 'uncommit', 'init'; or 'server' for actions seen on the smart server) corresponds to the *action* performed to bring in that revision tip.  It comes from the corresponding bzr hook which *generally* corresponds to the bzr command.  If this was a bound branch, I guess bzr's underlying implementation does a pull *from* the bound branch into the bound-to branch rather than a push.  Or at least it's firing a post_pull hook.

Was 105957 perhaps made with 'commit --local'?
