Is subversion equally frowned upon? If not, what about:

  fossil diff --from PREV --to HEAD myfile.c

In any case I think the --from and --to should be required and only
symbolic names for the revision hashes should be introduced.

The question is whether PREV and HEAD (and perhaps other symbolic names)
should be bound to one branch (i.e. the one of the current checked out
tree) or whether it should be global and possibly cross branches.

Greetings,
Stefan
