Hi Stephen,

If you have cygwin on your windows box, you can try the following:

hg diff --stat
will give you the diffstat-style summary. Files with content changes will
be shown like 'file1.txt | 4 ++-', while files that only have permission
changes will be shown like 'file2.txt | 0'.

Then:
hg diff --stat | grep "|[[:space:]]*.*[+-]"
will give you only the diffstat lines which indicate changes.

Finally:
hg diff --stat | grep "|[[:space:]]*.*[+-]" | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq
will give you unique list of files with content changes.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Egor
