git-rebase-diff
===============

a tiny wrapper around git range-diff,
to make it easy to use after performing a rebase.

esp useful if encountered merge conflicts
& want to verify that nothing screwed up.

update
------

i've been experimenting with revision syntax.
there's some work in the `experiment' branch; not ready yet.
in the meantime, one can try:

- git range-diff @{1}...
  - to get the range diff of HEAD vs last version of HEAD
  - use `@{n}' to get HEAD vs `n'th-previous version of HEAD

- git range-diff @{u}...
  - to get the range diff of HEAD vs remote HEAD
  - use `@{u}@{n}' to get HEAD vs `n'th-previous version of remote HEAD
