Another "hg diff" annoyance

Perhaps this is well known, but, one of my users was just surprised.
He had removed a file without "hg rm".
So eventually he ran into "abort: uncommitted changes".
hg diff? nothing
hg diff --git? nothing
Only by looking at hg stat could he figure out what was wrong.
Oddly enough, the "hg notify" email diff does the right thing.
Can't we make this a bit more user-friendly?
