FR: Inspect obslog as patches #7
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When viewing the obslog I find it much easier to view the change the the previous commit as opposed to the previous change. Using jj directly you can do jj obslog -p.
Describe the solution you'd like
An option when viewing a obslog to switch to patch mode
Describe alternatives you've considered
I wrote a fzf script myself to do this before I realised vjj was a thing.
Additional context
It's actually pretty awkward to do as there isn't an easy way in the jj cli to get the previous commit id. In my quick script I had to get a hashmap of the commits and use the index to work out the immediate ancestor and then call interdiff.

I'm not sure if I understand it correctly, do you want to view the diff between the focused commit in the obslog and the visible commit of that same change or between the previous/next hidden commit of that change?
The first seems doable (preview
jj interdiff --from <change id of the obslog> --to <focused commit id>) but not the diff between the previous/next commit of the obslog probably won't work since even if I could somehow obtain the id of the "previous" commit, the obslog is not guaranteed to be linear
