I guess I could use "monotone heads" to find a likely revision ID, and
then monotone diff to see the changes.  And interdiff to reverse the
patch (if I understand it correctly, I'll get the patch from the ID to
what's in my working tree, and if I want to know what update is going
to do, I want the other direction).

Seems rather clumsy.  Is there really no suitable way to limit what
"monotone log" outputs?  For example, restricting it to revisions on a
branch seems like an obvious thing to do: indeed, I find it surprising
that specifying --branch=... doesn't seem to do that.  Or allow a
selector, to see all the logs which match?
