There was some discussion about putting it it .bzr/checkout/log

Since that would be a sort of "working space" for the checkout.

But recently there was also a discussion of using .bzr/tmp for things
that can safely be removed/not backed up.

The problem with doing <workdir>/bzr-log.N is that it would conceptually
cause "bzr commit --strict" to fail because of an unknown file. (A
simple ignore glob would fix this).

So, I understand the need, it has been discussed, but no conclusions
have been reached / patches submitted.
