My first thought: Neat, would love to see this implemented! :D
My second thought: it's surprising that IceCat supposedly changes so
much between releases. I suppose the reason is that this analysis is on
a per-file basis, and IceCat is mostly a massive binary. That leads me
to wonder: what about binary diffs for large files?
Perhaps for all files that are bigger than N bytes, we could check if
the binary diff is X% or smaller of the total size, and if so, the build
servers could host the diff file alongside the full file. (Substitute N
and X for sensible values, like maybe 5 MB and 50%.)
But that could be a second, separate step I suppose.
