Like goneri pointed out, in what way do you see it benefitial to
svnbuildstat? From quick glance it looks more helpful, with the web2.0
features of bugs popup and the likes with links around, but something
deeper compared could be useful, too.

Hmm, that's a pity, but propably might not be too hard to hack into it.

If the script requires that then it's b0rked. And I also don't consider
it helpful. It might get experimental targeted branches end up in
unstable in the end, the benefits of that are pretty low, an
"rmadison $package" or a look into the tags wether that version has been
released yet shouldn't be too hard to use.

That's stupid likewise, what benefit should an empty changelog entry
gain anyway?
So long! :)
