The underlying problem is that in order to use the Xen changes in SLES10, we 
need to have them in patch form. That
means we need to have a way to generate one or more patches that collectively 
represent exactly the changes Xen does on
top of kernel.org. To generate such a patch it would be very helpful to have 
precise knowledge on the underlying
kernel.org tree; without that it would mean we'd have to compare to kernel.org 
2.6.15 (or some of the 2.6.15-git*
snapshots) and then go through the resulting patch(es) and remove everything 
that originates from kernel.org - obviously
quite a tedious and error prone task.

Of course, I'm in no way a mercurial expert, so I might easily not know of a 
simple way to obtain what we need.
