When considering an API breaking change, it is useful to be able to empirically determine the impact by comparing revdeps from a branch with revdeps on master.

On a related note, it would also be great if we could choose a branch to compare to CRAN.

@topepo revdepcheck will always use the tree you point it to, no assumptions are made about branches, or SCMs.

Maybe revdep_check() could optionally take a path to a pair of tarballs?
