A human-readable mpdiff would be an interesting thing.  I guess that
would show you more or less any corrections done during the merge,
plus or minus any alignments that mpdiff and the merge code made
differently.  Would that be interesting content?  Maybe.  Not so much
for someone who was just following the mainline and wanted to see what
came in.

As another random idea: maybe BB should notice when an approved
revision is merged in, and send mail saying what else was changed in
the revision that ultimately merged.
