I'd make it an option: using Kirill's approach would allow to diff a  
sandbox folder against a specific revision/tag in the repository,  
which may be very handy as well (although much slower than the  
modification time stamp approach): e.g. one could diff the sandbox  
files against HEAD or a branch, etc.

I think both options have their use, so I'd really provide both ways  
to find diffs...
