Where the "lp:inkscape" is the branch identifier, it could be "../trunk" as well.

Can you give me a full command-line example of local branch identifiers (or even asciinema link if you go on mad mode)? Here in my computer only lp:inkscape works.

bzr diff -r ancestor:/home/vinipsmaker/Projetos/inkscape/.git/bzr/repo

fails with exit status 3 and the message:

ERROR: Not a branch: "/home/vinipsmaker/Projetos/inkscape/.git/bzr/repo".

The folder that I need to point is the folder containing the .bzr folder or the .bzr folder itself? I tried both and both failed.

Your paths are a little confusing, not sure how the .git got in there, so let me comment using my layout as an example. I put all my software in ~/Development with a directory for the project "inkscape" and then the branches. So I could have two branches like this:

/home/ted/Development/inkscape/trunk
/home/ted/Development/inkscape/foo

I'd create each of those by doing something like:

cd /home/ted/Development/inkscape
bzr branch lp:inkscape trunk

I could get a diff of foo using the common ancestor of foo and trunk by doing:

cd /home/ted/Development/inkscape/foo
bzr diff -r ancestor:../trunk

Does that answer your questions? If not, perhaps bzr help revisionspec could shed some light for you.
