patch on freebsd

[Brad Schick]

I have mercurial 0.9.4 installed in a local account on FreeBSD
6.2-RELEASE. So far it works except for patch. Anyone know the trick for
making hg happy with freebsd's patch?

When I set patch to "gpatch" in my .hgrc I get:

$ hg debuginstall -v

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

I tried "patch --silent" but that didn't help.
