Simply to list the numbers of all of the revisions where a certain
change was made.

eg. 

715, 716
Added case and slash insensitivity to exclude lists, with tests


699, 700
Revert to UNIX paths which should now work under Win32


Those ones happened to be adjacent, but they wouldn't need to be. This
is an alternative to adding things one at a time to your merge branch
which is a perfectly reasonable way of doing things, but may involve a
bit more work for yourself. I'm easy either way really, as long as I can
get to review sensible chunks of work rather than one branch with 6
separate patches on it in one commit.

Cheers,

Martin.
