Oh, in the working copy.  I had made a change to a file (.mt-attrs) in
one of my projects, and then realised that it was wrong, and instead
of doing a "monotone revert", I simply removed the changes by editing.
The result was that I got a diff that consisted of exactly these two
lines when doing "monotone diff":

  --- .mt-attrs
  +++ .mt-attrs

I'm assuming that a "touch .mt-attrs" would have given the same
result.  Now that I've upgraded my own local installation of monotone
I can't really see that any more :-), and I have no intention of going
back.

Cheers,
Richard
