RFE: diff --webpage

This is a "port" of an anonymous feature request post which ended up in the sqlite forum, rewritten for brevity and posted here to help keep track of it.

Feature requests for diff --webpage:

  • Add the relevant hashes to the output, instead of just the file names. Use case: a user may have multiple diffs open, e.g. against 1 version back and 3 versions back, and the current output makes it difficult to distinguish those.
  • Add an appropriate page title (from/to hashes). This won't work without some surgery because the page template is static, plus that info isn't currently available where the page template is rendered.
  • Add the ability to specify a filename for --webpage. It's currently a randomly-generated name. If the name is provided, the file should presumably not be deleted when the browser closes (as it currently is).

This would be a great enhancement. I also use these comparisons very often. Please go ahead, it will make the comparison results much easier re-usable.
