    I can do better than that. If I save them as diffs, I don't get to use your
    cute merge tools. I could commit them with a throwaway changelog, do the
    pull and use the merge tools, then copy the resulting files, undo both the
    pull and the previous merge, do the pull again and then lock the files and
    drop the previously-saved copies into place.

    It's a bit contrived though - it would be nice if BK would do something
    like that for me instead of just bailing out when files are modified.
    Asking me if I'm really sure I want to continue is fine. Aborting
    unconditionally less so.

    Er, actually I can't get 'bk diffs -up' to give output the same as (GNU)
    'diff -up' either. What I was after was stuff like:

    Which? Actually tracking functions that move between files, or the hack in
    the merge tool? I appreciate that the former is a _lot_ harder to achieve.
