Aaron, I'm confused why you're saying that this bug is invalid:
technically challenging for us, sure, but is it really 'not a bug', or
even 'something we wouldn't accept patches for' ?
On the 'the diffs won't match' aspect, I can imagine us offering the
user an interdiff when the diff isn't identical, and letting them
confirm that its ok, which would work tolerably without a bundle format
change.
And as you note, a bundle format change would permit the use of
different options when generating the bundle.
We can offer a some of the --diff-options stuff ourselves to eliminate
per-platform differences in diff.
