It will, but I think what Per was getting at was wanting to see the diff
introduced by that revision in the same TextView display as the commit
message.

I have a few thoughts on this:

1) yes, that would be cool

2) I've often found myself hunting around trying to find the patch that
introduced a change. gannotate is no help here; I need to see the
changes, not the current state and the revisions that happen to be the
most recent to have touched something

3) which leads me to kinda wanting a fusion of gannotate and visualize,
something by which you could, given a file, browse forward and back
along the revision timelines and see the either a) annotated or probably
more useful just b) the result of the changes shown as highlighted lines
int the file. By itself that's pretty useless, but if the forward/back
function was zippy it'd be very handy.

4) couple that with some multi dimensional searching (ie maybe {search
titles, commit messages, or text introduced in current change, ...} who
knows) to speed the jumping around and it'd be bloody amazing.

But in the mean time, a command line option to `bzr viz` to include the
diff in the commit logs would be terrific. `bzr diff -c` seems to speak
to this, so perhaps -c for visualize?
