Previous work-around for support of empty files
will collide with Mercurial's capability of
generating git-style diffs.
If Mercurial generates a diff with '-g' it also
contain any empty file. So there is no need
to handle thse data by rbtools itself.

Otherwise "rbt diff" will generate something
like this duplicate entry:

diff --git a/bla b/bla
new file mode 100644
diff -r 9264e470c193 -r bac4e0592ecc bla
--- /dev/null   Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
+++ b/bla       Wed Nov 29 15:07:51 2017 +0100

Bug closed: 4600

Created a diff before applying this patch I saw that it

has a duplicated enty. Applied this patch and saw no

duplicated entry and no broken "rename from /dev/null"

with a date in diff-viewer of reviewboard.
