I'd like to experiment with adding Rietveld support for reviewing
remote repositories. For that, I'd need to create a single patch

mostly works, but it may provide multiple patches for a single file,
which I think would harm the review (since some changes may be superseded in a 
separate patch).

So I would need to compute the most recent revision in both repositories, and 
then create a diff between the default head
of the remote repository and that base revision.

You might like the rdiff extension, which does essentially this.

I've looked at it, and it does something different. It computes the diff between the local tip and the remote tip. What I want is a diff between the common ancestor between the two, and the remote tip.
