The descriptions of changes should start with a capital letter.  Also,
your lines in the commit log message are too long, they should not
exceed 61 characters (because in the release tarball we create a
ChangeLog file from them, which prepends a TAB character to each
line).

The first line of a doc string should be a complete sentence.  I
suggest to rephrase as follows:

  Return buffer position before patch separator produced by git-format-patch.

Btw, Diff mode is more general than just Git-produced diffs.  Is there
any possibility that this change will misfire in diffs produced by
other tools?  If so, perhaps we should also verify the buffer is under
Git control.

Thanks.
