hg-zipdoc extension

[Steve (Gadget) Barnes]

Checking the documents I found a section that may help - if you don't
specify -a the only information that you get is that the binary, (zip),
file has changed:

5.2. Viewing the document's XML text in diff

When using the diff command specifying the -a (or --text) option will
tell Mercurial to treat the file as text. This way you are able to see
the changes to the XML that are contained in the uncompressed zip stored
in the repository. Note that this does not work if git style diff is used.
