Well, I can't think of such trouble there: the only state which is managed
is the information about 'old_path' and 'old_rev', which is propagated
as parameters when one navigates within the browser.

When such parameters are present, the Browser page clearly identifies
itself as a being in a preparation for a "Diff" mode,
and shows the state information with a
"From <old_path> in revision <old_rev>" line.

So nothing is hidden, nothing can be ambiguous.
