    The "weave", or order of csets, certainly changes each time Linus does a
    'bk pull'. I wonder if a 'cset_order' file would be useful -- an
    automated job uses BK to export the weave for a specific point in time.
    One could use that to glue the csets together, perhaps?

    WRT cset numbers, ignore them. Each cset has a unique key. When
    setting up the 2.5 snapshot cron job, Linus asked me to export this key
    so that the definitive top-of-tree may be identified, regardless of cset
    number. Here is an example:
    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/snapshots/patch-2.5.63-bk6.key
