I had similar difficulties when looking at #31108.  It is easier to find
which commit add/remove/replace what by simply reading the commit
message than to read the diff (raw).  And sometimes the diff is not
enough because there is not enough context and I had to open the file at
the specified commit.  It is no extra time when the commiter does and it
saves a lot of time when someone parse the history.  IMHO.

All the best,
