Hi John, While I'd expect --diff-filename to work, it's important to note that it won't work with --parent, and there's no way currently to specify a parent diff.
That said, it could be that this support just isn't working for Mercurial. Would you mind adding --debug to the command line and pasting the results? Mercurial support for RBTools needs a bit of work to meet feature parity with the Git. Would you mind filing a bug report (along with the debug log) at https://hellosplat.com/s/beanbag/tickets/new/ ? That'll help us track it better.
