Provide syntax to link to file-differences from svn log messages

[arnarb@…]

It would be nice if there was a syntax for filenames in svn log messages, so that the filename in question becomes a link that jumps to the corresponding file in the diff.

This is related to #124 (not a duplicate though).

I wonder if this can be handled by adding a "catch all" regexp to the wiki engine, which could be used to do an optional, context-dependent, parse step.

In this case, the Changeset module could build a lambda that tries to identify the relevant filenames from the changelog text.

This way, even the mention of a README file could be catched, because we can build the regexp from the list of changes files.

Probably not for 0.11, though the WikiEngine refactoring is done having the requirements for this ticket in mind.

The idea I had with this is that one should be able to easily add some kind of post-processing to the WikiDom tree, for adding contextual rules.

e.g. here, a dynamic pattern made of the list of files in the (restricted) changeset, (using shortest non-ambiguous paths) and targeting the local changes (#fileX).
