It might be a duplication of effort-- I've already got code that does that:

$fai revisions --modified libarch/cmdutils.c -s
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-102
    nicer error messages from get (aaron via rbtcollins)
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-103
    fix bogus format string
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-107
    error message niceness (aaron via rbtcollins)
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3--patch-14
    Gobs of extra checks/small fixes/typos (Bentley)
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3--patch-15
    Formatting fixes for previous revision

It's part of Fai, which is gpled, and is available as iter_changedfile. 
 Doesn't match on file additions or deletions, yet.

There's also a variant that matches revisions that added a line's 
contents to a file.
