Nope: he digs the bk-commit mailing list archives.

For example, from Roland's mail
2005/01/31 01:37:39-05:00 len.brown
2005/01/31 01:35:48-05:00 len.brown
2005/01/31 00:15:20-05:00 len.brown
2005/01/31 00:12:40-05:00 len.brown
[etc.]

$ grep +/^ChangeSet.*2005/01/31.*len.brown ~/Mail/linux/bk-commit/200505
ChangeSet 1.1983.5.2, 2005/01/31 00:15:20-05:00, len.brown@intel.com
ChangeSet 1.1938.498.11, 2005/01/31 00:12:40-05:00, len.brown@intel.com
ChangeSet 1.1983.5.3, 2005/01/31 01:37:39-05:00, len.brown@intel.com
ChangeSet 1.1938.498.12, 2005/01/31 01:35:48-05:00, len.brown@intel.com

Same thing as in Roland's mail but the changes are isolated.
