Looks very nice, to this lurker, at least :)
FWIW one thing I found difficult watching the video was the concept
of the package diffs within the "history stream" view: maybe I've
spent too much time looking at git logs, but my first though was that
the diff was the effect of the change relative to the previous one.
It appears that you're displaying the diff relative to the currently
running image. I wonder if there's a way to make that more clear in
the UI?
I agree. Even on the command line it's hard to interpret.
Andreas, Peter, do either of you have a better idea for how to represent
the diff between trees so it's more understandable?
