It's just a verbose diff. No, it's a summary of diffs. As such, it many times presents a bird-eye view that is hard to grasp by looking at the diffs. It is also much shorter, so if you want to decide whether a particular changeset is of interest, you have much less text to read. So I definitely disagree that this should be dropped.
