Hmm. Just looking at this as a git user, I would have expected it to
take one or more hashes, separated by spaces. If only one, then it
must be a commit, and it is diffed against its parents. If more than
one, then each must be a tree-ish. So you could diff a commit
against a tree (or a tag against a commit, or...).

I agree.

And I think it might even be easier to code. ;)

Not for someone who's almost entirely unfamiliar with the git API.
Finding the right functions to call takes a lot of time ... which is
why I decided to chicken out and implement only the subset I actually
needed. But it can be added later -- perhaps by me.
