Hi,
First, thank you for stepping up again to work on the code review
integration.

>From “hg help diffs”:
While this standard format [unified diff] is often enough, it does
not encode the following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
I’m of the opinion that hg diffs should always use the extended git
format, given their usefulness. A tool working with hg diffs that does
not support this format is broken IMO.
