Yes, we try to mark everything worth porting back with '[TOMERGE 2.0]' 
signs. When merged, these marks are to be changed to '[MERGED 2.0]' in 
trunk, and entries gathered in 2.0.x branch ChangeLog file.

Yes, there is. I used to do it manually in the past, so can't advise 
on the automated method, but sounds as reasonable one.

AFAIK Mercurial syntax isn't that much different from SVN. Here's 
a good (and free) book about SVN:
   http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Here's how diff command works:
   svn diff -r 13505:13506

Brgds,
