The difficulty here is that "gdiff" uses any of several 3rd-party external
diff tools that all have different way sof specifying the real filename,
and which we do not have control over.
If you say:
fossil diff --tk --from version1 --to version2 path/file.txt
Then the Tcl/Tk graphical diff tool that is built into Fossil is used. And
we do have control over it. And it does show the correct filename.
For the --tk option to work, you need Tcl/Tk installed on your system.
Linux and Mac have this by default usually, I think. It's a simple
(compact, fast, and unintrusive) installer for Windows.
