In bzr viz, you can also click on the unlabelled magnifying glass button in the
“Relations” tab.  This lets you choose which parent to see the changes relative
too.

A small improvement might be to add a tooltip to that button.

I wonder if instead the UI should have a “Changes” tab that shows the diff (and
would also need radio buttons to choose which parent to diff against I guess)?
This would be a little more like the gitk screenshot.
