It's not possible to filter the information (on the server-side) to get
the relevant stuff for only one file?

The "Client follows renames", issue 1093, fixed in v1.1 may to relate to
this.

Are you saying that due to the database layout/structuring it is
difficult to extract that aspect of information? So that you can't ask
"where did this file come from/go to from here" (to possibly different
branches etc), but have to ask "show me the contents of the prev/next
changeset" (that you then have to filter, taking huge amounts of
bandwidth) or something similar?

Thanks,
