Yes; if you include the same date lines, diff tends to sync up between the entries, in which case a } few messy things like the last completion change where I excluded the } _wget changes from the stable branch but included the rest are easy to see, rather than getting lost in large swaths of "+" or "-" lines in the diff output.

Hmm, a bit of perl could probably help here. It should be possible to gobble up the entries to sort them by article number without actually unfolding them. I might fiddle with that later. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
