Thanks for the information, Rich. Needless to say, the "manner of the
change" is important information which needs to be efficient to obtain;
would you or someone else close to the Mercurial development team raise
this issue to see if anything can be done?
Does -l help at all? Do you really need the detailed change history of
all entries for all time when you're using this?
Just wondering if there's a temporary workaround for now ...
