That would be nice, yes.  difflib has code for this, I think, does
bzrlib have it somewhere too already?

You mean in the diff views too?  I'd have thought the concern there
would be space to put it in, rather than cost of fetching it.

Using dot or similar?  That occurred to me to.

Browsing around the one mecurial repo I know the URL of didn't turn up
anything like what you describe though, can you provide a link?

It's in the stuff that drops down when you click the arrow between the
revno and the commit message, or are you talking about something else?

Too cute for now, I think :-)
