The situation with record is similar.
I admit that the huge RTEMS tree with over 7000 changes between the two releases is challenging. However, earlier releases can do it (though it takes long, much longer than with, say, mercurial).
Just for comparison, here are the numbers for mercurial: ben@sarun[1]: .../rtems/rtems-4.9.0 > hg --version Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 0.9.5) ben@sarun[1]: .../rtems/rtems-4.9.0 > hg log changeset: 0:8b3cbc67b25f user: ben@sarun date: Sun Feb 21 21:29:10 2010 +0100 summary: import release 4.8.1 ben@sarun[1]: .../rtems/rtems-4.9.0 > time (hg addremove && hg commit -m'import release 4.9.0') # ... long output elided ...
