Readability also includes more than just the source code; as has already been stated: if(cond) { stmt1; + stmt2; } vs. -if(cond) +if(cond) { stmt1; + stmt2; +} I find the diff version that already had braces in place much more readable.

There are much larger problems facing diff readibility. On your basis, we might as well decree that code should never be arranged or reindented.
