Heya,
Do we have anything that allows me to compare two versions of a patch?
In theory it'd do something like "apply both patches to the their
merge base, then show the diff between the results". I don't think we
have something like that, since there's probably some major caveats
about conflicts when applying the patches to their merge-base. Or
perhaps my theory is silly, and there's an easier way to compare two
patches (other than looking at a diff's diff, which I've never been
good at).

It’s not git specific, but maybe interdiff [1] could help.

What about Git's diff -c/--cc ? You'd have to reverse the parenthood
logic though.
