   Why?  It seems like pointless obfuscation (note that every other
   modern revision control system does it the arch way),

It makes it easier to track patches that you send to projects that
don't use arch.  I often ask myself: what version of the patch did I
send again?  Was it the one that fixed the error I missed or not?  The
less I have to think, the more I can spend on hacking.

   as _well_ as being an incompatible change....

How is it incompatible?  arch uses patch right? If so, patch already
groks those kind of diffs.
