having 'bzr log dir' be recursive is something that we have already
discussed and generally approved. To do it efficiently probably requires
some format changes. Right now we only cache when the directory itself
changes, but we want to cache the recursive set of changes. (We want
that anyway for other performance implications).

Changing the caching is something that is on my plate to work on, so
hopefully I can get to that soon, which would allow stuff like 'bzr log
dir' to be implemented properly and efficiently.
