Yes.  diff -r submit:..-1

I use this alias:
sdiff=cdiff --check-style -r submit:

Compared with bundle, that gives pretty colors, style checks and it
shows uncommitted changes (note the lack of "..-1"), and no base64 junk.
 And it's faster.

This is because you only have a single public branch?

Deleting branches and keeping bundles seems odd to me.

I'm loathe to call it "send" before we make it possible to send.
