From the mailing list, 2014/07/22:
There's a problem with the empty files detection code in at least the Mercurial client of RBTools 0.6.2: it's adding all the empty files that exist in the repository. The relevant code is in Mercurial.py, _handle_empty_files():
tip_empty_files = self._get_files_in_changeset(tip, get_empty=True)
added_empty_files = tip_empty_files - base_files
base_empty_files = self._get_files_in_changeset(base, get_empty=True)
deleted_empty_files = base_empty_files - tip_files
if not (added_empty_files or deleted_empty_files):
return diff
From debugging I've done, added_empty_files and deleted_empty_files were both the same, and contained the list of empty files that were already in the repository.
base_files and tip_files looked correct.
