I don't understand what you mean by "the changes that happened
strictly of that revision"; or rather, I don't understand how it can
be a different thing from what you get from get_revision.  Relative to
one merge parent, one of the changesets applies; relative to the
other, the other changeset applies.  If you discard any of that
information you can't represent the merge correctly.
