Apologies for misleading you/everyone about exactly what gets faster
and what doesn't. Basically, my plugin will speed up any command that
references the branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map() API.
So "bzr log" is not faster (yet) but "bzr log --short -rx.y.z"
(i.e. show me just revision x.y.z) is faster.

It turns out that the full log needs merge depth in addition to
the rev-id => revno mapping. I'm looking at caching that (and the
topo sorted order) too so logging everything can be faster as well.
