Don't know exactly how it's implemented, but I would guess it's using "hg incoming --patch" or similar, which would handle this transparently; the newer revisions at hg.python.org would just be ignored in generating the diff.

That doesn't work exactly: hg incoming --patch could generate multiple patches for the same file. The button tries to combine them into a single patch per file (which turns out to be difficult).

Regards, Martin
