There are two ways to do this:

1. if you manually diff your current file against a file that doesn't exist
(there may be a flag you need to set on your diff program), it will generate
a diff against a new file, then you just need to adjust the diff header to
make it right... we've got a simple script that does this for our perforce
repo

2. I haven't tried it, but there's a revision range argument on
post-review.  Last I knew, this doesn't work for all SCM's, but it should
eventually.  just supply a revision number like 0.  (this has been suggested
before I think)
