If you can wait a bit for bk-4.0 (we're going to restricted beta in a few
days and a wider beta in a week or two, current plans at least) then 
I think that this becomes trivial.  We added support for spitting out
the diffs in bk changes so you can do

	bk changes -vvr+

and it uses a new dspec :DIFFS_UP: which does diffs -up style output.  

Like so:

  Remove -u/-g support, that was a bad idea.  Teach people to use
  su -c instead, demo that in the init script.
