I don't understand.  The whole point of removing problematic changesets
is so that they're never part of the long-term history.  Why do you need
a list of them?

In any case, if you do need a list then the hashes of all blacklisted
changesets in OpenJDK repositories are in jcheck.py itself.  (There's
a separate server-side list for Oracle-internal repositories.)

It doesn't help in this case.  That option only works in a local
repository, on changesets that haven't yet been pushed anywhere else.
