--quiet does sound useless. What about making the change indicators only appear if you specify --verbose? > Another point I don't like with the new system is that it doesn't > mention diff for binary files at all. True. A diff for a revision in which binaries changed doesn't represent that revision accurately. I think it would be pretty bad if someone got a diff of my work, applied it, and found out later that the diff was inaccurate. So for bzr, we talked about introducing a syntax error when using patch would lead to inaccuracies.
