Description:
Right now, SHOW INNODB STATUS shows details of the last deadlock that occurred.  It would be extremely useful to have a config option that enabled logging this information about every deadlock that occurs into the mysql.err log (well, stdout I guess).

It would be a huge benefit to be able to characterize why each particular deadlock is happening so effort can be concentrated on avoiding the most frequent ones or the ones with the largest transactions.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
n/a

Thank you for a resonable feature request. 

I agree that it will be useful to get information about all deadlocks happened in the error log. Other RDBMSes (Oracle and IBM Informix, at least) write it to the logs.

I think it should be written too in the general log when it's enabled as a deadlock rollback or something like that. Today we can't guess by reading the general log what could have been committed in a deadlock case.
