As perhaps a more compelling example, consider "Recovered Nodes" info.
 The top-level node now shows a diff, and the two children show the
"before" and "after" version of the code.  This should be enough, but
I still find this information far from being truly helpful.

So instead of handling diffs, it would be best to eliminate them
completely.  The ekr_leoPy.leo scheme may do this.

P.S.  Having "backup" files in the bzr repository, like ekr_clones.txt
and ekr_leoPy.leo will complicate the distribution slightly: we don't
want to include these files in official distributions.  But this seems
like a reasonable price to pay for a much improved work flow.
