I asked about it on #mercurial. It turns out that not including the base changeset id in the diff is an oversight, not a choice; diffs made by the git program actually contains a line of the form “index 694512d..e5fde8a“, so the Mercurial lead dev told me they would consider accepting a patch making hg diff --git include such a line.
