[Monotone-devel] merge_into_dir vs. diff?

[Jeff Rizzo]

Let's say I've used merge_into_dir to create a branch composed of several other 
branches - development happens on the components, and is repeatedly merged back 
into the synthesized branch just fine.  If I diff one of the component branches 
against the synthesized branch, I get loads of output because of all the files 
that are not in the component I'm diffing from.

Is it feasible to add a flag or something to only diff against what would 
actually be merged if I were to propagate?  What I'm looking for, here, is a 
convenient way to tell what changes I'd be propagating...  or, if I had made 
changes to a component just on the synthesized branch, I'd like to see those 
too.

Is this doable?  I don't currently see how.

Thanks!
