This is current hg head from selinic.com/repo/hg, just updated minutes ago.

hg diff --git isn't working.

 hg manifest -v | grep Makefile
644   doc/Makefile

ls -l Makefile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nbecker nbecker 918 2007-10-15 21:46 Makefile

Now:
chmod 644 Makefile
hg status
M doc/Makefile
hg diff --git Makefile
[still silence]

hg verify shows no problem.
