Changing from -r 4:3 or -r 3:4 doesn't change the problem, other than to
move which window of examDiff has the directory.
Didn't think to look at -r 2:3 since I was looking for changes between 3 and
4
The misleading thing is that -r4:3 shows a directory deleted.

hg knows I added a new file to a directory.

My diff tool can't show what file that might have been because there isn't
anything to compare it with.

extDiff is creating two temp directories for use by the external diff tool.
It would be better if an empty directory had been created for the compare.
Within the two temp directories,  they should have all the same sub
directories.

Yes, I've seen some empty directory debates on this list...?
