And this is the very situation where it would be useful to have record
agains which version the changeset was made. Let's say I hack on
something. Then find that it won't fly until I merge changes from
someone else. They are a little bigger though. And when I redo, it
produces conflicts. I would like to be able to use diff3 on it. But my
best hope is to call it manualy, though it would be a matter of trivial
script if the base revision was recorded somewhere.
