You can generate an interdiff with "git diff branchname-v4
branchname-v5", for instance.

Off topic. But what stops me from doing this often is it creates a big
mess in "git tag -l". Do we have an option to hide away some
"insignificant:" tags? reflog might be an option if we have something
like foo@{/v2} to quickly retrieve the reflog entry whose message
contains "v2".

You can normally find the previous commit via the reflog. Various
changes to the settings can make the reflog be maintained for longer
if you have longer lived patch series. That's how I would suggest it,
rather than branches, as I tend not to keep old versions around on
separate tags or branches.

The problem with "foo@{/v2}" is that people don't always keep values
inside the message it self, but maybe "foo@{/pattern}" would be a
useful extension?
