The current work on http://bugzilla.mkgnu.net/show_bug.cgi?id=545
introduces a new integration activity that given a bug id, or list of
bug ids, it will fetch the list of affected files and their revisions.
It would be possible to use the data provided by this activity to then
query the SCM system to reproduce the diffs.

Marek is working on a merge tool that can essentially apply the diffs.
Perhaps getting a hold of the diffs is just a matter of providing an
extra argument in this tool that will produce the diffs but not apply
them.

"Homer", if your goal is to be able to easily reproduce those diffs,
would this merge tool be of help ?
