To do this, you will need a third-party package %called \package{patchutils}~\cite{web:patchutils}. This provides a %command named \command{interdiff}, which shows the differences between %two diffs as a diff. Used on two versions of the same diff, it %generates a diff that represents the diff from the first to the second %version. $B$7$+$7(BMercurial$B$KF1:-$5$l$F$$$k(B\hgext{extdiff}$B%(%/%9%F%s%7%g%s$r;H$$!$(B2$B$D(B $B$N%P!<%8%g%s$N%Q%C%A4V$G0UL#$N$"$k:9J,$r<h$k$3$H$,$G$-$k!%$3$N$?$a$K(B \package{patchutils}~\cite{web:patchutils}$B$r;H$&I,MW$,$"$k!%$3$N%Q%C%1!<(B $B%8$O(B2$B$D$N(Bdiff$B%U%!%$%k4V$N:9J,$r(Bdiff$B$H$7$FI=<($9$k(B\command{interdiff}$B$H$$(B $B$&%3%^%s%I$rDs6!$7$F$$$k!%F1$8(Bdiff$B$N0[$J$k%P!<%8%g%s4V$G;HMQ$9$l$P!$A08e(B $B$N(Bdiff$B$N4V$N(Bdiff$B$r@8@.$9$k!%(B %You can enable the \hgext{extdiff} extension in the usual way, by %adding a line to the \rcsection{extensions} section of your \hgrc. \hgrc $B%U%!%$%k$N(B \rcsection{extensions} $B%;%/%7%g%s$K<!$N9T$rDI2C$9$kDL>o$N(B $BJ}K!$G(B\hgext{extdiff}$B$rM-8z$K$G$-$k!%(B \begin{codesample2} [extensions] extdiff = \end{codesample2} %The \command{interdiff} command expects to be passed the names of two %files, but the \hgext{extdiff} extension passes the program it runs a %pair of directories, each of which can contain an arbitrary number of %files.
