patch.diff: avoid calling workingctx().manifest() Right now, to generate the manifest of the working dir, we have to perform a full walk of the working dir, which will be very slow, especially if we're interested in only a small part of it. Since we use the manifest only to find out the mode of files for git patches, manually build an execf function to do it. This should fix issue567.

#!/bin/sh

hg init

mkdir alpha
touch alpha/one
mkdir beta
touch beta/two

hg add alpha/one beta/two
hg ci -m "start" -d "1000000 0"

echo 1 > alpha/one
echo 2 > beta/two

echo EVERYTHING
hg diff --nodates

echo BETA ONLY
hg diff --nodates beta

echo INSIDE BETA
cd beta
hg diff --nodates .
