Neither can I, and this was news to me. I have no idea why we'd have truncated this one; it runs completely counter to my mandate that any patches to TortoiseHg we make that you guys don't accept should be kept easily mergeable in case you change your mind.  I suspect David didn't know you could splice history. We'll fix it Monday.
