X-ref bug 144421

I am getting this error using both bzr 1.6b1 and bzr.dev revno:3493 when attempting to do 'bzr log -r branch:X'. Here is what I get:

cdb@tsunami ~/grub/repo/videotest $ ~/src/bzr/bzr.dev/bzr log -r branch:../upstream..
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.ReadOnlyError: A write attempt was made in a read only transaction on KnitPackRepository('file:///home/cdb/grub/repo/.bzr/repository/')

Problem?
=======

In builtins.py, cmd_log.run() calls b.lock_read() which conflicts with
the call to _get_revision_range() which calls branch.fetch() which
needs a write lock.

Solution #1?
===========

Move the call to _get_revision_range() out of the read lock. If
revisions are immutable, it shouldn't matter, but I don't know if they
are or not; however, something similar is done cmd_missing.run() where
_get_revision_range() is called before acquiring a read lock.

Solution #2?
===========

Just change b.lock_read() to b.lock_write().
