No problem.  I still kinda like Anton's proposal for conceptual
cleanness, but if the tool can cope with what we already have
then less cluttering in the output is better for human eyes.

Let me again remind you about git-external-diff-script patch.
When you encounter more gotcha in the built-in diff output
format in the future, it would be a valuable tool to experiment
and express what you would like to have git-apply to parse.
