My only counter to this is that often what I am investigating is the change between ^head/ and some release, say 11.2 and I really do not want to go grovel in stable/11 to find the rXXXXXX for 11.2, that is just a PITA. Though the branch point for stable/11 is interesting, it is rarely usefull for any thing very meaningful. It would actually be useful to have a file that listed all of these for all branch points maintained in ^head/. > > Do you have a quick way to find branch points?
