File sizes in kB
                    original    reordered
00manifest.i             572          572
00manifest.d           5'003        5'079

Remember, I just rearranged some recent ~30 csets a bit (which were
the only ones that caused an ugly graph part in entire history of
mercurial).

And the mercurial repo is a rather small one anyway (
9155 changesets with 18268 changes to 1246 files).
