That feature/idea has been floated several times over the past years, but AFAIR it hasn't been seriously experimented with. Sunday this week is set aside for programming, and next week i'll have an unusual amount of free time because my dog will be out of town with his mother (so no dog duty for me next week). If we can come up with a reasonable notation, sensible semantics, and some SQL to traverse the parents, i'll be able to take a whack at this. That said, i like Lluis' idea of: fossil diff --checkin uuid as a shortcut for "diff the given uuid against its parent," with the caveat that a multi-parent checkin might need to toss an error there. That would cover the most common case, i think. :-? -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
