What are you actually looking for?  The query page already has a place to enter
a branch to search on, so you must be looking for something else, but it's not
clear from your summary.

What I want is query all checkin patches between two tags. I.e. all checkin
patches  between MOZILLA_1_6a_RELEASE and MOZILLA_1_6b_RELEASE

oooh, now that would be intriguing.  There's nothing restricting that a tag will
be at the same date on any two files, and we'd more or less need to look a the
rest of the checkins by date to get them easily...

Does bonsai even store tag information in the database?  The only way I can
think of to efficiently query this is if we had a table that kept the tag
information (with file, tag, and date) for each file. We could then join the
"from" and "to" tag fields on that table to get a date to compare against.  This
would also limit results to files that actually contained both of those tags, too.

iirc tag changes aren't sent to bonsai, so even if bonsai did try to keep track of this information, it'd fail periodically :(.

that said, this is something i'd probably use.
