Ari Pollak spake unto us the following wisdom:

While this seems like a very reasonable request, you may yet find the
following helpful:

mtn log --from t:v2.7.2 --to t:v2.7.1 --no-graph | grep -i fixes

That will get you a quick-and-dirty list of fixes (along with some
other cruft, probably, for most releases) in the release specified by
--from which are not in the release specified by --to.  We tag all of
our releases with tags of the form 'vX.Y.Z'.
