You already can. It isn't 100% perfect. (Such that if there is a merge
that modifies a file, it also prints out all the other versions that
were merged in at the same time)

Does 'bzr log filename' not work for you?

There is also a bug that 'bzr log no-such-file' logs everything, rather
than nothing.

And the code could be optimized more by looking at the knit index for
that file, but I've tested that it works here.
