The incredibly useful `git-tbdiff` tool to compare patch series (say,
to see what changed between two iterations sent to the Git mailing
list) is slightly less useful for this developer due to the fact that
it requires the `hungarian` and `numpy` Python packages which are for
some reason really hard to build in MSYS2. So hard that I even had to
give up, because it was simply easier to reimplement the whole shebang
as a builtin command.

The project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff seems to be dormant,
anyway.  Funny (and true) story: I looked at the open Pull Requests to
see how active that project is, only to find to my surprise that I had
submitted one in August 2015, and that it was still unanswered let
alone merged.

I've been using branch-diff and haven't found issues with it yet, it
works like tbdiff but better. Faster, uses the same diff as git
(better), and spews to the pager by default.

Thanks for your enthusiasm!
