Hello,

I've been looking for a way to get the details of a 
complete revision in one step, but I haven't had any luck 
yet.  This would solve the one aspect I'm most worried 
about: with 50000+ files and 5500+ directories in my local 
copy of /usr/src, I'd hate to have my code end up 
inadvertently causing a denial of service on the 
repositories with a flood of tiny requests...
