There is no nice way to do this at the moment but the work I've done on the 
net.venge.monotone.restrictions branch will allow diffs of specific files, 
subdirs, etc.

It'll probably be a short while before this is merged onto the main branch and 
generally available but as I understand it that is in the plans for the 
relatively near future. Presumably once the changeset stuff has settled down a bit.
