TypeError: b2a_hex() argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not None

Some further notes:

* crev='\xb4\xdfER\xa17\xaa\xcc\xf77\xe0\x07\xe4"W\x9e~\xa3\x18\x05'
* copy=('enable-template',
'\xb4\xdfER\xa17\xaa\xcc\xf77\xe0\x07\xe4"W\x9e~\xa3\x18\x05')
* cfname='enable-template'
* the same b2a_hex() thing happens whether I do 'hg ci --mq' or disable all
extensions and run 'hg ci' from within .hg/patches.
* hg verify says the patch repo is good.
* hg clone on the patch repo gives me a working copy
* adding/removing the same files in the clone works

I've saved the .hg/patches directory so I can do some checking.
