Ah... now I understand: when I looked at your previous email, I couldn't
see what you thought was wrong, it all looked correct to me, because
what you describe is "not a bug", it's a missing feature ;-)

It should be easy to handle those cases as well.
Can you suggest a good replacement?  (i.e. what should we display
instead of the "diff --git ..." stuff)
