How do I use that? In particular I am unsure about "Base Diff Path". What is 
that?
Another problem is that I cannot get access to SVN right now to grab an actual 
version for the diff. It rejects my ssh key. I have generated and uploaded a 
new one. Let's see what happens :-)
Ah, BTW, does there exists a common notification system by now? I mean some 
standard way to display "bubble help" (that's what freedesktop calls it). It is 
not urgent, as most systray apps do not seem to use the systray's service for 
this purpose, but do it on their own :-(
