[Bug 1042883] [NEW] bzr log doesn't resolve symlinks

[Micah Gersten]

Public bug reported:

in lp:qa-regression-testing we have a symlink from scripts/data to data.  I tried to run bzr log on scripts/data/well-formed-gray16.tiff and got:
bzr: ERROR: Path unknown at end or start of revision range: scripts/data/well-formed-gray16.tiff

'bzr log data/well-formed-gray16.tiff' worked as expected
