Was a bash script - new GUI version rewritten in Python3

The code is pretty sloppy and fairly sparesly commented but functional. The diff program should be run within a fossil checkout and takes 0, 1 or 2 commit hashes as arguments. With 0 arguments, the script compares the working copy with the last committed version (i.e what has changes since the last commit). With 1 argument, the current checkout is compared to the version identified and with two commit hashes a diff between those versions is calculated.
