Diff is using mixed path types

Hi all,

I recently upgraded from 1.9 to 2.0.1 (Mercurial and TortoiseHG).
I noticed that my diff tool wasn't working anymore, closer inspection shows
that the $parent directive was using mixed path separators.

for instance:
c:\temp\thg.q0hewt\lvccttool.3.324\Trunk/Source/_code....

What so everything inside the repo uses linux-style path separators, while
the rest of the path (and that of the current revision) have windows style
separators.

(an image is stored at:

I'm sure that I didn't alter the mercurial.ini and that the string is
provided by TortoiseHG upon calling the diff-tool.
Here's the ini-section:
[merge-tools]
lvdiff.diffargs = $child $parent
lvdiff.executable = C:\Program Files\lvdiff2\lvdiff2.exe
lvdiff.gui = True
lvdiff.binary = True

Is this by design?
