This problem bugged me as well and my solution was to use extdiff and pass 
suitable options.

This is what I do, after enabling extdiff extension in ~/.hgrc.
alias repdiff='hg extdiff -o '\''-bBw'\'' 2>&1 > /home/shridhar/diff'

I find this diff format sensible enough most of the times. Especially 
without -w, the diff is pretty useless when a large function is refactored 
into smaller ones.
