Yes. While not falling asleep last night I realized that the quick-and-dirty approach was bogus. I need to track what the ancestor is as I'm building up the data structure, not while outputting it. So I'm working on a correct version which puts ancestor_branch into the PatchSet structure itself.

It's completely done now except for that it segfaults instantly.

BTW where did you get the cvsroot for syslinux? Could I get a copy somewhere?
