Actually, the doc says:

  -q, --quiet            Suppress progress information

So, removing the diff from the output in "baz diff -q" sounds more
like a bug than a feature. I guess no one is using it so it doesn't
matter if we change that.

At least one other person in the world also think that:

I don't understand what --verbose does currently (I didn't identify a
case where the output is different with and without). I'd rather put
the changes indicator by default, but that's not strong opinion.
