I doesn't really matter what is easier for you or me; what matters is what is preferred by the person receiving the diffs and doing the work to check and integrate the changes, but Bram has already replied to that issue. As for "-cr", no, I don't think you want to add the -r. Mercurial takes care of selecting the files to diff and just needs to be told the tool to use to diff each one.
