occasionally misleading file references in Merge requests.
this a source of some confusion, and also annoyance to me, so consider this to be a rant. I often try to see who has most recently changed a file, like guides_creator.py. So I end up at the address:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/changes?filter_file...
where it tells me that the file has been changed in rev 13007. So I click on that link, and it tells me that this rev actually changed this file, as expected.
Then I see a Merge request in rev 13221, so I click on that link and discover that this particular file was not changed in that rev, even though the previous page said it was changed.
Then I see a Merge request in rev 12404, so I click on that link and discover that this particular file was changed in that rev, as expected.
So sometimes the file actually was changed and sometimes not.
............................................... Similar experience with file /src/extension/dbus/document-interface.cpp
start at the location: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/changes?filter_file...
go to Merge request 12476 and discover that this file was not actually modified in this merge, nor in Merge request 13221, but it was modified in Merge request 13340 as expected.

this is very confusing. The problem seems to occur only in Merge requests. Does anyone know why some Merge requests lead to false references to file changes that never occurred?

I'm not sure about the internals in bzr nor launchpad but when seeing something similiar with Git and various GUIs it often tend to be something in the background such as file permission change or LF/CR mix-up in an editor. The actual file is included in the commit (in the vcs) but the GUI doesn't show those changes (or detect them at all). Just a guess.
