If you've already pulled the changes from the parent gate (but haven't
merged your changes in yet), then you can use "hg debugancestor rev1 rev2"
to get that information, where "rev1" and "rev2" are the revision from "hg
heads". That's all scriptable, if you use --template with hg heads.
You can also do something similar if you haven't pulled yet. Do "hg
outgoing -l1 --template '{node}\n'", and run "hg parents -r <rev>" on that
revision.
