For commits/updates/... yes. Only diffs are transferred.
But to show the unified diff, that's not quite possible. Because the
CL client allows you to specify e.g. GNU diff to do the task for you.
And since a client doesn't know what diff tool the server has
installed, that task must be done on the client side.
