Since the second came after the first, 142 was build from 59 by applying patches 60->142, while 135 was built from 59 as well by applying patch 60->135. Obviously, in this case the two steps should have been done in the opposite order. This was with tla-1.2
I hate that too, but it's impossible to know that 135 is the common ancestor before retrieving 142.
But it is being remedied: when my patches are merged, it will produce 135 by building backwards from 142.
If you have disk space to burn, you can use a non-sparse greedy revision library, so that when you need 135, it's available.
