I would rather not have new hg users have to install an extension just

I may still keep my Rdiff-based FAQ entry around as an example of how
to get a collapsed diff regardless of personal workflow, though.
Installing Rdiff was actually pretty easy, and I get the impression
that becoming comfortable with adding the extensions that suit your
personal workflow is a key part in getting Mercurial to really work
for you. We won't do people any favours if we try to pretend that
isn't the case.
This is quite true. (And after a while, the same goes for creating your
own extensions, BTW.)
And from the description it sounds like rdiff will be very useful for
our usecase.
I'm not sure it is really. When you commit multiple changesets
locally you really want to use something like named branches or mq to
track them. Advocating rdiff is advocating something SVN-like, it's not
very helpful IMO.
Although often you want to merge in a single commit and erase the commit
history of the branch you worked in (as discussed previously). So are
you advocating rebasing before merge as the alternative?
