how to compare an exported file (or set of files) against the repository?

Hi,

I have been unable to find an answer to this in the FAQ or the mailing list archives. I found one question that appears to be similar to what I'm trying to achieve but it did not contain a reply that solves my problem.

I've got a set of files that were exported from a repository some time ago. The files have been moved around and some have been edited since.

I would like to find out: a) what revision these files are from and b) what changes have been made to it that may not be in the repository?

Is this possible without looping through all the revisions and calculating checksums?
The problem with appraoch besides the time it would take is that it would obviously not catch files that are not 100% identical to the files in that revision.

Thanks in advance for any pointer that would help in this.

Bram
