That's what I meant by "diff family" ;) In fact, "git diff --raw --name-only oldrev newrev" gives the nicest listing.

It seems Chris has to check full file contents, i.e. he'll have to loop over this list (as before), but I guess he'll need to replace his "show $blob" by "show newrev:$filename" (or, alternatively, parse the output of "diff --raw" without "--name-only" for the blob sha1).
