Ah, since I am learning to use Bazaar, it is something I tried. Without success, it appears you cannot log and annotate removed files currently... :-(

Tried:

> bzr log -r 3 Stuff/ErrorParser.hta
bzr: ERROR: Path does not have any revision history: Stuff/ErrorParser.hta

but curiously (and fortunately) I can do:

> bzr cat -r 3 Stuff/ErrorParser.hta

and:

> bzr diff -r 2..3 Stuff/ErrorParser.hta

and as suggested in the bug above:

> bzr log -v | grep -B 1 ErrorParser

(adjust -B (--before-context) parameter as needed).
