I'm inclined to agree with Augie here. This is a pretty big format
change that might potentially break older clients importing a patch. The
risk / reward ratio doesn't seem strong enough to me. Plus, yes, --git
everywhere that I can find in Mercurial means git-diff format.

Perhaps this patch (or something similar) belongs in hg-git instead?
