I would encourage you to just poke around within it a bit, even if you
don't follow what every word means - you can ask David or someone else
in your timezone if you're puzzled.

http://archzoom.sourcecontrol.net/archzoom.cgi/mbp@sourcefrog.net--2004/distcc--devel--2

for example.  I like the way it batches revisions so you can step
through the whole history but any single page is not too big.

I would think if you showed the last 50 or 100 mainline revisions plus
what they merged in it would be feasibly small, but I might be wrong.
