Those are usefull commands; xmtn-revlist-diff-to-current-tree does give the preview I want. But my problem is how to let the user know those commands are there, and how to make it easier to invoke them. Right now, the only way to find out about them is to read the lisp source, and the only way to invoke them is M-x. A user manual would be nice, but most people don't bother reading them. Menus are how most people learn about new user interfaces like DVC. Well, in the absense of one-on-one mentoring, anyway. Menus and corresponding keystrokes are also an easy way to invoke these commands. > Actually, this fits in nicely with the idea of popping up a heads > revlist buffer after pull as I mention in the other thread.
