I feel your pain. It makes me wonder if ... don't kill me for saying
this... if the results of a history-trace couldn't be cached in the
working copy somehow. It means the first time you run your diff
command (or other command that does history-tracing), it will be slow.
 But if you ever run the same command (or similar command) on the same
path or URL again, the history data would be pulled out of the wc
cache instead. It would be safe to cache, because history is
immutable, after all.
