It's not clear to me that making trustworthy interdiffs across
rebases is a thing that can be done given the current UI for showing
diffs, since it's not clear to me that it shows enough information.

I regularly do diffs of diffs (producing double-diffs that have two
columns of +/-/<space> before the code rather than one), and I've
gotten used to reading them.  It's not clear to me how to explain
interdiffs in a reliable and trustworthy way without that much
metadata about the changes.
