Though --from-undo is better in that it tells you what the option does, you have to know that Fossil has an undo buffer to make sense of it. That’s exposing internal implementation details in the UI.

I disagree. The "fossil undo" command already tells you Fossil has an undo buffer,

No, the undo command just tells you that Fossil has some unspecified way to achieve an undo. It doesn’t tell you how it accomplishes that.

I don’t want Fossil users to be required to think about how undo is implemented when they ask Fossil, “What just happened?”

How does “fossil diff --last” strike you?

I think "--last" would be interpreted as a short cut for "--to latest”

No, latest is “now.” “Last” is “then”. (“When will now, be then?” “Soon.”)

If it’s the “L” that’s hanging you up, there are synonyms. --prior and --prev come to mind.
