For new files, the "diff" is always the whole file, and reviewing the
content of every whole file added seems redundant.
Because I believe using --look-for-adds with --summary is the common
case, I think it makes sense to optimize for it. As you said, other
people can use the defaults system, and preserve backwards-compatibility
with the current system.
Plus, look at this result when using --look-for-adds and --no-summary:
addfile ./b
addfile ./c
You can't tell which file is already added, and which one was found with
"look-for-adds"! This makes it less useful in my opinion.
