That's fine, the ,bkcvs-last-rev file is only update if the
patch/commit succeeded.

Do a grep in {arch}/..../patch-log for this number and do a "tla
get-changeset" on that patch number. You can look afterwards in the
directory created, it is much faster than using the revlib (actually I
always make sure not to use library revisions with this repository
since it takes ages to create).

I think it is better to do some intermediate diffs on -rcX releases
with the kernel.org archives to make sure there are not differences.

Well, I meant patch-1, I realised that base-0 is the initial import
and the file list want tell much. Patch-1 log shows the first BKCVS
revision you used, that's what I was interested in.
