I personally do this much more often than 1%. A common scenario is
working on a feature or a fix in a new branch, making a few commits
and diffing the current branch with the master branch before
submitting a patch or merging the branch back to the master.

Vincent, when you have a (mostly-)working patch please post it on BGO.
I'd really like to play with it.
