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).
