Bug Description
Compare the following two:
git diff -w
bzr diff --diff-options -w
the latter is excessively verbose. The word "diff" gets repeated twice, and the word "options" is superfluous.
Ideally bzr diff would pass any unrecognised arguments through to the diff call.

bzr alias diffw='diff --diff-options -w'
while verbose is quite nicely self-documented :)
git diff -w
bzr diffw
Passing unrecognized arguments (including typos !) to the diff call are likely to cause error messages quite cryptic to the unsuspecting user.
