Hi, all!
    I would like to use kdiff3 to compare some folder like "include"
between two different revisions.
    It would be something like "git diff v2.5:makefile HEAD:makefile",
but for an entire folder.
    Kdiff3 give me a quick glance of its nice graphical output of the
differences, without have to resort to looking/parsing 'git log'
output.
    For now, easiest way for me is to keep my tree replicated in two
different folders pointing to different revisions then use it.
    Is there a better way to do this kind of comparison?
Thanks in advance,
