Maybe a patchset command which could be used like: ~> fossil patchset create head_version versions_to_diff... (or maybe provide head+tail versions, and figure out the path between them for diffing purposes? Will there always be such a path? Is it possible to do this without such a path?) My head spins wildly when i start thinking about that type of thing, largely because i'm not equipped with the vocabulary for that particular problem domain. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/
