Hi all,

sorry, I'm really late on that one.

Agreed, that's what it does, but I would not call it a bug, rather a
misunderstanting, Dustin : I remember asking in the pull request whether
HgPoller should emit all those "initial" changesets or not.

Anyway, I'd be really happy to change it, cause I don't like that
behaviour either, and that should be easy to fix.

Note that with a non zero treeStableTimer value, you don't get bit too
hard, but still you have this dreadful list of changesets.
