Subject: Useful(?) BK trick

Rob Landley asked me if there was some way to get diffs between any two revs
of a file on bkbits.net and the answer is yes if you are willing to type in
the revs.

You can navigate to a file by going to http://www.bkbits.net and then working your
way down to the project of interest, then the repo, then "Browse the source
tree", then click on the file. You'll get offered a list of revisions,
click on one of those and you should be at a URL that looks like

http://project/repo/diffs/path/to/file@rev

You can put anything you want in for the rev, it can be a range. To see
1.2 vs 1.5 diffs you can do [email protected] and hit return. It may be useful
to know that "+" always means the most recent rev in BK so to diff everything
from 1.2 to now that's [email protected]..+

FYI...
