Yes, bzr diff should do the trick, although if you have local commits in it,
you'll have to give the revision number manually. Bazaar also has this cool
feature called merge directives. They let you bundle your branch (with all
the commits) in a patch-like file, which can be easily merged into the
mainline by core devs. Of course, Python hasn't moved to Bazaar, so
widespread use of those is unlikely soon.
