Ok, I'm also going to modify it. It currently needs to be run in the
source repository, rather than in the destination repository. It's
not obvious, because the CLI interface is:

	"$prog <destination repo> <source repo commit id>"

I think it makes more sense to run from the destination repo, and
specify "source repo" "source repo commit id" as the paramters.

I'll also look to supporting a range of commit id's so that a series
can be pulled in with a single command....

Cheers,

Dave.
