Ah, yes there it is, but where is a convenient commit ID?  I can click 
on the Parent ID and the Child ID and get a whole list of diff hunks. 
But it would be nice if there were an ID for the current highlighted 
changeset in the--what looks to be--flash window list.  Can you click on 
the ID at the front of the list of changesets?  That doesn't seem to 
work for me; maybe my version of Flash isn't working properly.
