[chirp_devel] Help, please: Handholding for adding a file to chirp drivers

[NNN Wx]

*grumble* I need help to manage to add a file in mercurial/mq so I can send it y’all.

"hg stat” sees that I have a new file in the drivers directory:

$ hg stat
? chirp/drivers/ft2d.py

“hg export” shows my comment and metadata of sorts:

hg export tip
# HG changeset patch
# User Declan Rieb <nthreewx at gmail.com>
# Date 1498951152 21600
#      Sat Jul 01 17:19:12 2017 -0600
# Node ID 0b3fa805a0993cbb9d593d236242202ad1d6b7f7
# Parent  0b2aaa54f3082a8fe735b4e32091466c50b9900b
[ft2d] Add support for Yaesu FT2DR. #3257 #3325 #3887

But… there’s no patch information added to the end!

“hg diff” shows, well, nothing.

If I try to play with an existing file, the process shows the diffs, as expected. How does one convince hq to include the new file in export as a diff? I know it can be done; Jim Unroe did it on June 13. I shan’t need this capability very often, I presume, so I’m asking for some more specific directions. It’s not included in the directions at http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio> or
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersProcess <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersProcess> 
[or perhaps my lazy mind just didn’t find the otherwise-obvious instruction therein.]

Now, I’m not averse to just attaching the file or copying it inline, but that probably doesn’t match any automatic processes.

I think I understand that the prototype .img file to be added to the tests needs to come as an attachment somehow.

Thanks for your understanding and help.
