Then, I would rephrase my sentence as

  I think "changes" should have been an alias for "diff", and diff
  should display a summary like "tla changes".

;-).

I also missed this summary, and that's why Xtla rebuilds it from the
diff to show it to the user.

I propose

 baz diff => display the summary + the full diff
 baz diff --summary => display the summary only
 baz diff --no-summary => display only the full diff

What do other think?
