What about adding a `--no-diff-format' or a `--diff-format' argument to
`--list-generations'?

We could then make two choices:  Default to the proposed diff format, or
default to the full format (what we have now).  Depending on what we
choose as default, we can implement the appropriate negating argument.

I would prefer defaulting to the diff format..

Thanks for your feedback!
