Just a side note, this would need VCS diff support in Repoman; there
are some other feature requests on b.g.o that are also pending this
VCS diff support, but it takes some understanding of the Repoman code.

This becomes easier to implement after the refactor of Repoman
completes; checks are organized and consolidated into several files
due to the refactor, rather than mixed together in a giant single file.

Having repoman help with the developer workflow sounds like a neat idea.
