Re: [PATCH v2 02/18] Add a new builtin: branch-diff

I wrote:

Would it be possible and reasonable to teach 'git branch' to
call this as a subcommand, i.e. as 'git branch diff'?  Then
the completion wouldn't offer git branch-diff.

Of course right after I sent this, it occurred to me that
'git branch diff' would make mask the ability to create a
branch named diff.  Using 'git branch --diff ...' wouldn't
suffer that problem.

It does add a bit more overhead to the 'git branch' command,
in terms of documentation and usage.  I'm not sure it's too
much though.  The git-branch summary wouldn't change much:

-git-branch - List, create, or delete branches
+git-branch - List, create, delete, or diff branches

I hesitate to hit send again, in case I'm once again
overlooking a glaringly obvious problem with this idea. ;)
