I want to open foo.txt in Vim, then do something so that it diffs against the last change made to it. :VCSVimDiff PREV would diff the current (local) version against revision 11. That's fine, but I want to do that something again so that I then see a diff between the current local version and revision 10. Then again for 9, 5, etc., effectively seeing a nice vimdiff of the changes to foo.txt throughout its lifetime.

Aurum is capable of doing this: :AuVimDiff, then gJ for previous and gK for next revision with modifications, but its subversion and bazaar backends are least stable as the only place where I use both VCSes is aurum test suite. Feel free to report bugs to https://bitbucket.org/ZyX_I/aurum/issues.

Note: gJ and gK should be typed in the buffer with repository version, not in the buffer with version from current working directory. J and K are for just next/previous revision. If you are diffing two revisions they should work for both (in fact it is aurum://file mapping, not the AuVimDiff-specific one).
