Description & Comments:
When I want to see the differences between a branch and its parent, I find myself often preparing one directory at the branch leaf, and the other at the pivot with the parent:
cd mybranch; fossil update mybranch; cd ..
cd pivot; fossil test-find-pivot mybranch parentbranch; fossil update XXXXX
meld mybranch pivot  # a program to show the differences between trees

I'd like to be able to run:

fossil update pivot:mybranch:parentbranch

Maybe it is not the best place to write this, but I'd also find comfortable "fossil update parent" working.
