".hgignore" file not found. The 26652 cset has 2 parents, it was a result of a very big merge into default branch. Actual hg diff -r 26652 -r 26651; produces:

... and so on for 400k lines I won't post since it's confidential
This is not the only revision or revision range that has this problem, in fact the only revision range in this project I have found that worked was 10:12 at the beginning of it.
I understand this might be due to unconventional usage of mercurial since files do cut and pasted rather then hg moved, but if hg diff can produce some information why not allow it to be posted for review anyway ?
