Is there any reason ever to emit normal diff output (as opposed to
unified)?

I'd be happier to just kill options outright if nobody is ever going to
need them (the resulting --unified would be recognised but have no effect,
could have help text that says so at first, but in the long run, use
a cmdlib's hidden flag feature)

I agree about just removing non-unified diff.

Subversion, Mercurial and Git use unified diffs by default, the last
two provide an option to improve the number of lines in the context.
