What is the difference between the /info/ and /ci?name= URLs?  When
followed by a check-in artifact ID or unambiguous prefix thereof, it
seems the only difference is /ci?name= shows diffs and /info/ merely
offers to show diffs.

The problem I have is using the edit link on /info/ returns me to the
corresponding /ci?name= URL when I apply or cancel.  It's rather
jarring to start at a page not showing diffs, go edit something, then
be returned to a page showing diffs.

Actually it can be more than jarring.  A few of my commits are
monstrously large with diffs that are dozens of megabytes or larger,
so of course I wouldn't want to see all those diffs.  But
nevertheless, they are pushed in my face after doing an edit check-in
operation.

I know it can be tricky for the edit page to return to the same diff
options (hide/unified/side-by-side, show/ignore whitespace), so the
easy way out, which I would be happy with, would be to always return
to the /info/ page which hides diffs but makes them easy to obtain again.

By the way, I also find it curious that /info and /ci can be followed
either by /ARTIFACT_ID or by ?name=ARTIFACT_ID with the same result.
Is there any particular reason why both are supported?  I also see
that these two styles are used by different parts of the Fossil UI.
Is there an explanation for this apparent inconsistency?
