cargo-depdiff

If you do cargo update, add dependencies to the project or update something manually, the dependencies recorded in Cargo.toml change and you get a report of what changed right at that time. But when browsing the history, reading what changed from the diff of Cargo.toml is inconvenient. This makes reviewing pull requests a bit harder than necessary.

The cargo depdiff command tries to help in this situation a bit. You can point it to a git commit, commit range or similar (or run in a directory with uncommited changes) and see a similar report.

Furthermore, some additional information may be requested (changes to authors, extracting changelogs, etc).

It is currently in an early stage, so bugs, bad formatting and missing pieces of information are possible. Pull requests for anything of that are indeed welcome, as are issues describing use cases we haven't thought about, bug reports, etc.
