When diff-ing binary files that cannot be handled by Gerrit, it would be nice to see some useful information. Some examples are:

1. Size difference
2. MD5 difference
3. If it is tar, list of files inside
...

Size is the one I care about.

The size difference should be shown even if the binary can be handled somewhat by Gerrit (e.g. Gerrit can show side-by-side views for image diffs, but it should still show size information at the top level, instead of +0, -0).
