What I'm saying is: As always, we start with plumbing and work our way up to porcelain. We do have git diff-files, diff-index, diff-tree, so I don't see what the problem with diff-link is. The point is that we can get an initial scripted version out quickly.

And no, I never suggested a git log-link.
