 And the more at the current position, the bzr diff call does simply
nothing, because there is nothing to diff.
 The desired call must be just before updating the checkout and it
would definitely take a bit longer, although that information is quite
nice:

$ time (bzr diff --old lp:bzr-gentoo-overlay \
	--new /media/disk/bzr-overlay/|diffstat)
dev-util/bzr-dbus/Manifest             |    2
dev-util/bzr-dbus/bzr-dbus-9999.ebuild |    4 -
eclass/bzr.eclass                      |   79
