Re: Git vs svn. Is ... possible ?

Well, the actual question is:
In svn I can do a remote diff (diff between two remote revisions) without
having to do a checkout, is this possible for git ?

You can craft URLs to gitweb in specific ways to do this.  For
instance:

http://git.complete.org/branches/redmine-integration/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb-bug-738-projects-block;hp=upstream

Shows the diff from branch upstream to branch
fb-bug-738-projects-block.  You can replace the branch names with the
full 40-character SHA1 ids as well.

Leave off the "_plain" and you get diff highlighting.

The header at the top of this thing is going to be a bit misleading,
but the content is what you want.
