Submit multiple changesets from one request?

I'm using the Lighthouse API to add changesets from Kiln to Lighthouse. It appears that each POST to changesets.xml can add only a single changeset. However, we regularly get pushes of many (sometimes tens of thousands) of changesets, and I don't want to flood you system or mine with that many requests. I tried POSTing multiple <changeset>s inside a <changesets> tag, but that just got me an HTTP 500.

Can I bundle multiple changesets into a single POST?

Thanks in advance.

   Kevin -

   Unfortunately you're not able to bundle changsets. What is your intent to have so many changesets? The most recent 100 or so would dominate your your timeline, the rest would go unseen.

   Thanks,

   My intent is simply completeness: if a repository is associated with a Lighthouse project, all of the changesets from the repository should be attached to the project. I presume that all the changesets would appear on the "List changesets" page after they've fallen off the timeline? An arbitrary limit on the number of changesets seems unnecessary.

   They don't fall off, every changeset you post will be available to view through pagination on the "List changesets" page.

   Thanks,
