Not sure what you mean. This will give you the diff between the original
a.diff and its updated version:

        $ quilt push            # pushes a.diff
        $ quilt snapshot
        # edit something
        $ quilt refresh
        $ quilt diff --snapshot

This would give you some sort of roll-up diff (I don't think this is
very useful in general):

        $ quilt push            # pushes a.diff
        $ quilt snapshot
        # edit something
        $ quilt refresh
        $ quilt push -a         # until z.diff
        $ quilt diff --snapshot

I haven't tried yet, but this should again give only the changes in a.diff:

        $ quilt push            # pushes a.diff
        $ quilt snapshot
        # edit something
        $ quilt refresh
        $ quilt push -a         # until z.diff
        $ quilt diff -P a.diff --snapshot

Okay?
