I'll look at it harder at how this affects the import, but I don't think it will affect the rebuildrecentchanges.php/ rebuildrecentchanges.inc mechanisms, since they don't seem to call RecentChange.php. I have to rebuild a lot, since the job queue falls waaaay behind when I run my scripts.
Ahhhh, I see -- this has nothing to do with imports at all, it's the Recentchanges rebuild script.
Indeed! Until I dove deeper into the code, I thought it was the import... but yes, it's the rebuild that's the problem (which is why I tried to change the name of the thread!). The first clue was when I updated rc_bot manually and it only affected 5000 rows. That's odd, I thought...
Running the rebuild script will remove bot flags from all recent changes entries.
I found this bug on the bugzilla, complete with a patch (unreviewed?)
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9166
but I don't think it will do what I need.
In theory you could probably approximate it based on bot group membership or something, but it would complicate the query or require a second pass (and of course would not be exact and may or may not be what you want anyway.)
I'm thinking that for my specific case I should just customize my own copy to do a second pass or filter them out. Instead of bot group membership, I'll look at the rc_comment being "Automated import of articles". Probably not useful for wikipedia or general use, but there are some other folks I know who could use this.
I was also going to put a bug into bugzilla about ordering, but I see in SVN that you fixed it 3 weeks and 4 days ago.
