Documentation

Compare REVA:FILEA with REVB:FILEB using Ediff.

FILEA and FILEB have to be relative to the top directory of the repository.

If the region is active, use the revisions on the first and last line of the region. With a prefix argument, instead of diffing the revisions, choose a revision to view changes along, starting at the common ancestor of both revisions (i.e., use a "..." range).
