Yes, I am fully aware of that, however those rarely happen with so many
in succession. I also verified this with bk/web that real data was being
dropped and that these were not just empty merge points. The actual data
loss was quite high when comparing against current BK from that
changeset:

 174 files changed, 3382 insertions(+), 2775 deletions(-)

I have no idea why it diverged so far, but after merging this fixup
patch, everything is working fine again (using the new script).

Thanks for the quick fix, hopefully things won't get so utterly out of
sync again with the new script. Now I can get back to real work.. :-)
