Right. Your problem is deciding which trees you want to track. There is Linus/Marcelo trees but there are probably another 200+ trees of the kernel on bkbits.net and who knows how many elsewhere (we've counted over 10,000 before we stopped counting). Obviously you don't want to track all of those but some of them might be interesting. > The main issue here is finding the proper syntax for the bkweb url so > we get all of the changesets included in the commit.
