If you're reading a bunch of log messages to see what the activity was
on a piece of code, with the intent of trying to see what exactly was
impacted, it's not practical to constantly refer to an external source
of information (go to the collector) or go back and forth between
branches to find out what the checkin message was for the changes to the
trunk.
