| That is correct.

If what you just wrote is true, then passing NULL would be just such a
way to access the full log. Or did I misunderstand something?

In that case, the list of reported changes in the documentation is not

One of the bzr devs, Jelmer Vernooij, argued that changing URL is often
not an option due to access restrictions.
