Yes, that's why it should probably be an option. But I'm for something
scary like "--one-way" ;) It works for my use-case today, but I could
understand it not being for everyone.

I don't like this option because I think that it breaks down the strong
file concept of bazaar. File IDs and ID tracking is something I do like
in Bazaar and if diff hid that I think it would make things more complex
for understanding what's going on.
