Re: Re: [tools-tinderbox] Re: [tools-dev] Re: [tools-tinderbox] Any way to query mercurial to "show me all changes on $tree since $date" without creating a local clone?

Thanks for that - I gave it a shot and boy, was I disappointed.

for this:
$ hg incoming --bundle ause103.bundle

it did download full 900MB! (and of course took ages) - that is not
promising really.
Thankfully pulling the changes from the bundle resulted in an increase
of about 145MB "only", but still a little too much for my taste (and
for a net result of "added 5 changesets with 17 changes to 12 files
(+1 heads)"

I'll try with some other cws - hoping that those won't cause such big
amount of wasted bandwidth..
