   This is something I frankly don't see happening *in buildstream* itself, although could be fairly simple to implement with a script *outside* of buildstream.
   
   e.g.:
   ```sh
   #!/bin/bash
   #
   # A script which knows about how the BuildStream project is stored, perhaps in git, and then performs an overall diff
   #
   git checkout <rev_a>
   bst source checkout --deps all --directory CHECKOUT_A <target.bst>
   git checkout <rev_b>
   bst source checkout --deps all --directory CHECKOUT_B <target.bst>
   
   difftool CHECKOUT_A CHECKOUT_B
   ```
   
   I'm going to close this as wontfix as I believe it to be out of scope for the core tooling.
