But this only shows all changes as one big diff, or am I missing something?

I know bzr diff -c REV
Of course it is possible to run bzr missing, find the missing revision
numbers and run bzr diff -c or bzr diff -r ... for each revision
But I think it would belong to the bzr core to offer a "bzr log --show-patch"
functionality.
I would use it for DVC.el.
I think this functionality is very useful to look at all changes for a tracked project.
git/mercurial users/developers think this is a useful feature.
Stefan.
