interdiff from patchutils. Probably interdiff would also be a better
name than diff-diff, just to be consistent with what is already there.
And using interdiff instead of plain diff in your script might also
yield better results (I didn't use interdiff that often yet).
At a first glance, interdiff yields more intuitive results if it
works, but it may fail if the two patches differ to much. I need
to play more to see how useful it is in real world examples. I
did not know interdiff before.
At this point I'm not convinced that interdiff is exactly what I
have in mind. For example it doesn't show differences between
commit messages of two git patches.
