(vc-version-diff FILES REV1 REV2)

Documentation

Report diffs between revisions REV1 and REV2 in the repository history.

This compares two revisions of the current fileset. If REV1 is nil, it defaults to the previous revision, i.e. revision before the last commit. If REV2 is nil, it defaults to the work tree, i.e. the current state of each file in the fileset.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 20.1.
