Ah! I was for some odd reason too wrapped up in things to realize that
*ofcourse* I can just delete every non-mentioned entry from the
transaction, so it mirrors the working copy, instead of trying to
build something of a fuzzy transaction that would somehow spur all the
non-mentioned entries when it's diffed.

Thanks for spelling it out for me :-)

Anyway, this is enough for me to see how this way could be implemented
- but I haven't come on to a decision yet.

Actually, I just found a bug - posting it as a reply to gstein's
mail. It's resolution will affect the resolution of this thing as
well.
