* Repository browser
* browse to "patch 2.1"
* right-click on "patch 2.1", choose "mark for comparison"
* browse to "patch 2.2"
* right-click on "patch 2.2", choose "compare urls"
  --> this brings up the "changed files" dialog, showing all
      files/folders which have changed between those two urls
* select all files (Ctrl-A), right-click, choose
  "export selection to..."
