Updates in Bugs_Activity don't include duplicate markers

[Kevin Benton]

I'm trying to figure out the decision behind not including state changes 
to the duplicates table in the bugs_activity logs.  Anyone here able to 
help?

Till I looked at the code, I thought that all changes to bugs past 
creation (except comments and attachments) were supposed to be logged in 
bugs_activity so that the full history of a bug could be determined.  
Was that an oops or should I file a bug on that?

Maybe I'm missing something, but here's what I found - when filing a 
bug, a duplicate log entry is made in the longdescs table against the 
master bug and an entry is added to the duplicates table.  No entry is 
made regarding the duplicate in the bugs_activity table.  The user sees 
that both the master and duplicate bugs are updated from the template.

When a bug is re-opened, the code removes the duplicate entries, but it 
doesn't log them or display a message back to the user.  Also, no note 
is added to the longdescs table for the master bug.  So, if I'm watching 
the master bug but not the duplicate, I would have to actually click on 
the link to the duplicate to find out that it's no longer a duplicate 
bug.  That may raise concerns for me.

What I'm thinking is that there needs to be a set of activity entries 
against both bugs detailing these issues.  What do others think before I 
get serious and file a bug on this?
