If I use the cat command on changed files I get the following:

hg -R ../../sc2/68a8f24f62d0-backup.hg cat -r 986d0d73e1b9 sc2-master/build.xml
abort: data/sc2-master/build.xml.i at 8bebfb85e319: no match found!

I replaced the "raise ..." statement with a pass and now the program
runs for quite a while. I'll let it do an report.

One problem might be: I have commited two files which are some GB big.
This commit is included in the patch - can this be a problem?
