Bug Description
When performing a diff between 2 revisions using the --using option Bazaar creates 2 temporary copies of all files in the repository at the 2 revisions and then launches the external tool with these 2 temporary directories. This takes a really long time when there are thousands of files in the repository.
I think a more sensible thing to do would be to only create temporary copies of files that were modified or added between the 2 revisions and not all the unmodified files as well.
