That task has been open since august 2014... I'm not terribly concerned about it getting landed and ruining my day any time soon. And I can hold my own in a rebase, don't worry.

I already fixed it locally already, since it's functionality we needed.

Sure thing. We have a microservices architecture, and frequently make co-dependent revisions in multiple repositories. Our build system pulls diff information from conduit, and patches all required services before running integration tests. Currently, we can only correctly test the revision which depends on all the other ones, since that information is available. Returning dependencies as well as dependent diffs will allow tests to be run on each diff without failing.

Would love to see date fields supported.
