Well I assume the people who added the feature whereby a new diff buffer
is created each time would object, because they want to keep the diff
buffer around. Eg in case they change their minds after reverting.
See eg http://debbugs.gnu.org/8927 .

Maybe (setq vc-revert-show-diff nil) will work for you?
