Showing a diff between two versions of the same series #636
First, thank you for developing and maintaining this great tool!
For the MPTCP project, we are also using Patchew, mainly to apply patches in a Git repo, but also for extra features like showing a diff between two versions of the same series. Example: when looking at a series on Patchew, you can see at the top "Diff against v1v2v3"
Showing the diff between versions only need access to the patches, no need to apply them in a repo. Here is what Patchew is doing with the help of jsdifflib: diff module & diff template. Ideally, patchwork would need the ability to track series' versions (which would be great for the reviewers to quickly jump between versions), but this can also be optional: the first version could start with only showing a diff between two series' message-ids given by the user for example.
(Note that having Patchwork being able to directly apply patches in a repo would be great, not depends on another service regularly polling for new events, but that's another topic :) )

(cc @@wdebruij who might also like the idea, judging by his ticket on Patchew side)
