Err. Perhaps Andrew trimmed too much context. Since you already have
an hg repo, it's much simpler to just run `hg diff`.

Even if you wanted to diff against the latest version from the
hg.suckless.org repo, you still shouldn't have to reclone the whole
thing:

hg pull¹
hg diff -r tip

¹: Since you mentioned being more of a git user, keep in mind that 
'pull' and 'fetch' are reversed in git and mercurial:
git fetch = fetch the changes from the remote repo ("fetch" = retrieve)
git pull = git fetch + git merge ("pull" = fetch and merge the changes into the branch)
hg pull = pull the changes from the remote repo ("pull" = retrieve)
hg fetch = hg pull + hg update (differs depending on whether new branch 
head found)
