This is fixed in our internal tree, you can do a bk -xcr diffs -u and it 
does the right thing but that's not much help to you now.  This will 
get the job done:

	#!/bin/sh
	cd `bk root`
	bk -r diffs -up
	bk gfiles -x | while read x
	do	echo ==== New file $x ====
		diff -u /dev/null $x 
	done

You may want to fix up the headers on the new files, they won't patch -p1
properly.
