This didn't work, however it seemed close (closer than the other example
posted).  It brought up ediff with both windows pointing to the same
HEAD version of the file, and gave an error
"Removing old name: no such file or directory ..."

Anyone willing to help me understand the code here?  The format command
is kind of like sprintf, right?  Why are you trying to call
ediff-<value>-internal?  What's that?

Thanks!
