On the other hand, they have very different purposes. 'diff' is
typically used to remind yourself of the changes you have made, while
you're working.

'bundle' is used to present your committed changes to the world in a
form that can be merged directly. Following 'diff' behaviour would
typically produce bundles that couldn't be merged directly, because they
would lack necessary ancestor revisions.

That was my rationale for making 'bundle' different from 'diff'.
