Yes:
diff -ru --exclude=".svn" grass64_release grass65_release

To even exclude the timestamp differences in the HTML pages:
diff -ru --exclude=".svn" --exclude=".html" grass64_release
grass65_release  | wc -l
856878

Not really the same :)

Yes: most tickets I have indicated earlier which contain a backport
promise are relevant.

I have gone before every GRASS 6 release through this branch
differences. It took me every time days. And I start to not have
that time any more to catch up with incomplete tickets... (see above).

And yes, energy should go of course into GRASS 7.
