I hate this behaviour. More than anything, the attraction of DVCS in
Open Source work is the ability for someone to see *their* contribution
reach into upstream.

Not showing submitted revisions makes it look like Patch Queue Manager
wrote Bazaar and makes it look like Andrew Cowie wrote java-gnome. These
are both false, and, socially destructive. There is nothing more
important than visibly assigning credit and rewarding contribution. The
current default works against this.

Hear hear.

At that point, I would then encourage you to make `bzr log --line [-n0]`
keep showing said merged revisions.

While we're at it, can we lose the "[merge] " prefix? The dotted revnos
are more than enough to make the point, and even worse if you're going
to keep doing the indenting things, we *really* don't need that "[merge]
" string eating 8 characters of available width.
