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 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...
