Could you give me a backtrace please ?
I suspect that the problem relates to the diff output's usage of
/dev/null to indicate files that have been added and removed:
magog$ hg diff | grep dev
--- /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
--- /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
+++ /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
+++ /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
+++ /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
+++ /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
--- /dev/null Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
+## Do not use it on development directories!
magog$
Should patcher work in this situation?
Hmmm, I don't think so. Patcher for sure doesn't do anything special
for treating additions or deletions (I have to look into that). Besides,
I don't know what's the behavior of patch-to-change-log in that
situation, but I suspect it doesn't work well either.
What I suggest for now is to play with either the diff-line-filter or
after-diff-hook project options in order to clean up the diff.
