I appreciate that, but 'changeset' doesn't imply 'against last' to me.
In other systems, you can generate changesets against other snapshots,
too.  Really, the sense of what we want is "changes introduced in this
revision", but I don't know how to shorten that.

Well, that is plenty short, and after the first time, people will figure
out that the option in that position is really 'diff against
predecessor'.  So that probably works.
