One starting point that comes to mind is to compare the number of
revisions (including all merges and merged revisions) for each branch,
tag, etc. With Git you can do it like:

$ git rev-list --count master
489

I don’t know what the equivalent command in Mercurial is. Perhaps you
could clone the relevant branch to a fresh repository and check the
numerical revision number.
