Bazaar: how to show history of changes to a file?

Hey I am using bazaar for my code, I wanna show the history of changes to a specific file, instead of showing changes to the whole bazaar repo. How could I do it?

bzr log is the key.

Purpose: Show historical log for a branch or subset of a branch. Usage: bzr log [FILE...]

If you use a gui (TortoiseBzr of BzrExplorer), select the file and clic on log command.

bzr blame <filename> will show you which lines were introduced with which changes:

$ bzr blame Makefile
548      steve-b | #
                 | #
861      steve-b | OVERRIDE_TARBALL=yes
548      steve-b | 
                 | include common/Make.rules
                 | 
                 | DIRS=parser \
                 |      profiles \
                 |      utils \
                 |      changehat/libapparmor \
                 |      changehat/mod_apparmor \
                 |      changehat/pam_apparmor \
                 |      tests

If you just want the commit messages, bzr log <filename> will show you:

$ bzr log Makefile 
------------------------------------------------------------
revno: 1828
tags: apparmor_2.7.0-beta2
committer: John Johansen <[email protected]>
branch nick: apparmor
timestamp: Thu 2011-09-15 13:28:01 -0700
message:
  Remove extra space insert at from of ${TAG_VERSION} when doing the ~ to -
  substitution.

committer: Steve Beattie <[email protected]>
branch nick: apparmor
timestamp: Thu 2011-06-02 18:54:56 -0700
message:
  This patch adjusts the tag make target to use a separate version with
  '~' replaced by '-'. This is needed for mirroring to git as git can't
  handle '~'s embedded in tag or branch names.

  Tested by setting up a separate tag_version target like so:

  tag_version:
    echo ${TAG_VERSION}
...
