Or `git topic-branch-diff`? But then, we do not really use the term `topic branch` a lot in Git, *and* the operation in question is not really about showing differences between topic branches, but between revisions of topic branches. So far, the solution I like best is to use `git branch --diff <...>`, which also neatly side-steps the problem of cluttering the top-level command list (because tab completion). Ciao, Dscho
