extdiff: use archiver to take snapshots of committed revisions This is the last step before supporting extdiff -S. It maintains the existing behavior of diffing the largefile standins instead of the largefiles themselves. Note however that the standins are not updated immediately upon modification, so uncommitted largefile changes are ignored, as they previously were, even with the diff command.

6 revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not

12 A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5

13 gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
