Thanks a lot for vc-ediff.  It is quite useful.

Some suggestions: 

1. Emulate vc-diff and report a helpful message if the file in question
   has no changes.

,---- *Messages*
|      No changes between working revision and workfile
`----

2. The following message is confusing and the y-or-n prompt is a minor
   annoyance.

,---- *Messages*
|      File org-e-odt.el.~master~ changed on disk.  Reread from disk? (y or n)  y
`----
