use bazaar to log changes (especially file removals) in a directory recursively

Here's a Bazaar feature that confuses me: How can I query a parent dir
recursively and get a log of what changes occurred in all sub-dirs and
files.
Let's say I have a dir ~/parent with two files in it 1.txt and 2.txt.
bzr add ~/parent
added parent
added parent/1.txt
added parent/2.txt
bzr commit ~/parent
After this I set up a daily cron job that:
bzr commit ~/parent --message "Daily automatic commit of changed files"
So far so good. But if one day I removed 1.txt. The next daily cron
commit would capture that.
removed:
parent/1.txt
But a month later if I wanted to know the history of what went on with
this dir. and I try:
bzr log ~/parent
I only get my first "manual" commit as output with no indication of
the removed file. Which log would the "file removal" message be
accessible through? How can I figure out what files were deleted etc.
over time?
