As it is, the diff functionality depends on the different "axis" defined
for a tree (which are usually "version" and "arch", since that's what
the default config uses).  I've come to think this is broken.  I'd like
to see your browsing history available as a drop-down, where you can
choose to diff the currently viewed file against any of the, say, 5 last
files you've visited in the current tree.  I want to toss out the
user-defineable variables altogether, and just keep "version" as an
integral component.  I think they clutter up the interface, are not
horribly useful and, in the rare cases where they could be useful, are
too complicated to actually use.
