Hi all.

While trying to get up to speed on cogito/git I stumbled across
a few things that I at least did not find available in cogito.

1) Something similar to "bk changes -R". I use this to see what has
happened upstream - to see if I really want to merge stuff.
Not sure what bk did here, but you can do something like:

cg-pull origin
cg-log -c -r origin
In the raw git interfaces, you'd basically have to do the same thing that
"git-pull-script" does, except that _instead_ of calling the
git-resolve-script thing, you'd do

	git-rev-tree MERGE_HEAD ^HEAD | git-diff-tree -v -m -s --stdin

to show what is in the downloaded MERGE_HEAD but not in HEAD.

2) Export of individual patches. "bk export -tpatch -r1.2345"
I have nu public git repository yet so I have to feed changes as
plain patches. Browsing cg-* I did not find the command to do this.
cg-diff -p -r SHA1
And again, without the porcelain this is:

	git-diff-tree -v -p <name>

(Basically, you can do _anything_ with "git-diff-tree". For example, you 
want "cg log"? Do

	git-rev-list HEAD | git-diff-tree --stdin -v -m -s

which is basically what "git-whatchanged" does).
