I second that.  I'm also using C-y in isearch quite often.  Another
application for it on diffs is to do C-s C-y on a context line, then
change to the file that this diff is based on and do C-s C-s to find the
context line here.  That's still faster than copying the line from the
diff and using C-s M-y.  C-s C-y is very fast to type on a German
keyboard. :-)
