Looks good to me.  Two questions, though: a local diff and a remote diff
now look exactly the same in the buffer.  Perhaps it would be good to
add something like "(local)" after the version number, in a way that
wouldn't confuse diff-mode (or patch, for that matter)?  Just a thought.

Second, I couldn't find documentation for the "-L" option in the GNU
diff manual, although it is quite happy with that option (--label, which
seems equivalent, is documented).  Do you have any idea about the
general availability of -L in other diff implementations?
