This patch changes bzr behaviour when launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using. If the file is from a working tree, it does not create a temporary file, rather, it just passes the path to that file in the working tree. This saves writing the file to the disk, but more importantly, allows one to edit the file in diff tools that allow editing, such as meld.
