Standard (non-context) diffs, as produced by doing a diff on one day's
testsuite/warnings versus the previous day's. So if a change adds some
warnings or reverts some testsuite results we can see immediately
(well, with one day's delay while the tests run). Equally, if a change
fixes something (for my arch) this is visible too.

Indeed. Hence I'm going to only do a full run on the snapshot days;
runs will still take place on other days but I'll only post diffs for
those (for the potential instant-change-spotting value), and only that
if there have *been* differences.
