Can I suggest 'bzr viz -vv'.

I think of viz as a 'graphical log', and log -v shows the status between
commits, so log -vv is a reasonable proposal for showing the entire
diff :).

What the HIG forgets is that 'simple' is relative. For many folk just
knowing what commits occured is useless; they have to see the content
changes to figure out what they want to know.
