  Well the next patch imports mercurial and then calls `mdff.new_diff` . If I combine those two patches then you can not see the change as while testing https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6359 , if there `mdiff` doesn't already have new_diff 
  it will always fall back to unified_diff as happened with @durin42  , while he was trying to see the alternate path as he trying to test https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5514 .
  
  What I am trying to do here is, once https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6356 is has added `new_diff` to `mdiff`, you can then have this revision installed in your system or wherever one tests this, and then check https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6359 to see the alternate path it follows.
