Bug Description

This might be a dupe of bug 438722, but I'd like some way of easily seeing the diff between my current branch and its submit branch. Currently, I can't see a way of doing it in the explorer UI.

Try adding a tool to your toolbox via Tools > Add Tool:

Title: Diff vs Submit Branch
Command: qdiff . -rsubmit:
Icon: whatever

Good enough?

Good as a workaround, but I think it should be a builtin concept somehow. It's a useful part of the typical bzr workflow and something we should help people understand.

Maybe there should be "diff against branch" defaulting to the submit branch.

We could also store the tool into clothes/Diff against submit
branch/tools.xml. It would then be available as an accessory for anyone
wanting to switch it on.

We have submit pane where all files not merged to parent branch is shown. And user can see individual diff for those files, but only one-by-one. I think we need add a icon/button there to invoke full qdiff for all files.
