I browsed the bug database and eventually found out "
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2086871&group_id=105970&atid=642714
pyro actually diffs the files on disk " and not from inside the MSIs.  In
other words, the 'before' and 'after' copy of files have to exist at the
same time in different source directories.

That's annoying because then I have to keep old copies of files (multiple
gigs in large directory structure) in addition to the copies of these files
are already in the previous MSIs.  I think I have to make sure that the
source paths for files point to the correct directory structures (old vs.
new).  It would be nice if pyro just fetched them from the MSIs.

I think this will be a feature request. ;)
