Now that I look at this more, it seems like there are a _lot_ of
changesets that simply have no file modifications. While this in itself
isn't a problem, there seem to be quite a few legitimate cases that are
just dropped (this seems to have just been one isolated example).

For instance, I can find a range of something like 50 consecutive
changesets where there have been nothing checked in but a patch log.

Ok, I will probably just end up wiping my tree entirely and starting over
with your updated script. This seems to be the least painful way of going
for the moment, as I have no idea what the extent of the damage is
presently.

If you are interersted in debugging this further, I can back up my tree
somewhere for you to fetch, though I don't know how useful this will be.
