bazaar

I had a complicated change that affected a bunch of files. I don't remember what bazaar branch I wrote that change in. We have a somewhat complicated merge setup, so the branch I'm in now lumps that change in with a lot of other changes. I'd like to do some very similar work so it would be nice to pull the original diff.

I feel like I should be able to use bzr blame. I run this command on one of the files

bzr blame --long path/to/file

and I find one of the pertinent lines and get something like

1107.6.213 dsmith@satie        20091202 |   tinyMCE.init({

Can I use that to figure out what branch and revision the original change came from? What do the 6 and 213 stand for?
