Back when mtn2git script was on the early stages of development and I've 
had some time I've started doing my own mtn2git gateway in c++ (never 
finished it, though). For what I remember using manifest was the only 
way, because the changes information mtn automate returns was incomplete 
or simply wrong, I don't remember the details... Do check your results 
carefully if you're trying to go this way. Luckily, being slow due to 
use of manifest should only matter on initial import.

Love,
