I have a repo here which is what I'm going to refer to if you highlight
a particular changeset for some reason.  If I have to go back to xenbits
to map a local change number to a changeset id then that's pretty
awkward (particularly if I'm not online at the time).

That's pretty easy to determine once you look it up.  I don't know that
I have a good idea about how change numbers relate to releases anyway.
