GitHub is very nice for viewing diffs. If you want to compare branches, go to the "branches" page of apache/lucy: https://github.com/apache/lucy/branches Then you can click on "Compare" next to a branch to get a diff against master. You can also select a different branch to compare other branches to. It also shows the "triple dot" diff which is usually what you want. Nick
