Indeed. Mercurial's workflow is not really supposed to be carried out by sending patches to people (the encouraged behavior is to use `hg pull` from other people's repositories), so the default patch / export format only includes a subset of the total information so that it can be backwards compatible with ancient diff formats. Adding "[diff]\ngit = true" to your ~/.hgrc is really necessary in order to make your patches accurately reflect your changes (if using mq) or commits (if not). Besides binary files, this also exports information about file permission changes, for example.
