Comment:

 I think the best way to describe the difference is that a sourcestamp is
 something you can check out, while a change is something that appears in a
 version control log.

 The nine branch does a somewhat better job with this: each change has a
 single sourcestamp, and anywhere that sourcestamp is displayed, its
 corresponding change can be, as well.  So this would solve your request.
 This model gets away from the idea of a sourcestamp having a list of
 changes, though.  Personally, I think this makes a lot more sense:
 revision 0e98ab1e9c85 corresponds to a single commit (= change).

 The ultimate goal, although it won't be realized in 0.9.0, is for changes
 to accurately model the underlying version control system, with parent
 revisions, merges, branches, and so on.  Then, given two builds, Buildbot
 can *calculate* the list of changes between them for display.
