Are you using greedy revision libraries?  They make life better in many 
ways.

Yeah.  Probably it would make sense to extend file-diffs to take an 
optional second revision.  Until then, there's always scripting.  I've 
added a new aba command "file-diff-rev" that does this:

diff -u $(tla file-find projectlanguage.cpp $(tla 
tree-version)--patch-116) $(tla file-find projectlanguage.cpp $(tla 
tree-version)--patch-117)

(aba's home page is here: http://sourcecontrol.net/~abentley/aba)
Thanks for the inspiration!
