I suspect you want to look at all the files in the cset.  I think what
you want is a script which is given a list of files and sends a patch
for each new changeset which touches any of those files.  Because if 
a changeset touched drivers/ieee1394/ and include/something then you
probably want both.

bk help triggers.
