Review board doesn't support diff in git format.

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?

http://gsoc.review-board.org/r/new/

Using Mercurial, you can define in your .hgrc:

[diff]
git = 1

The git's diff format is not supported by Review Board.  It complains
it doesn't seem a diff file.

The next is a diff between two diff from the same repository. One is using
the git format and the another is using the default for Mercurial.

$ diff -c fix-actions-in-non-repo.*

I just realized it was already reported (#472=).

I don't how to markes as duplicated.  However, my diff could help to understand 
the
difference.
