Use visual diff to compare current repo vs master repo?

Question

We can use hg in -vp to compare our local repo to the master repo.

How can you do this visually? We use the ExamDiff extension as our Mercurial visual diff tool. We figured there was a way to do the equivalent of hg in -vp but wasn't sure how to do this.

Answer 1

hg diff and its extensions are set up to compare versions within a repository, not for comparing different repositories so the easiest way to do this is to create a fresh local clone of the master, and use ExamDiff to compare that clone with your other local repo.
