Indeed, I see now that Magit goes through the trouble of "prettifying"
Git's diff output, making it incompatible with diff-mode commands (and
inventing a new syntax so you can't save the buffer and then pipe it to
`patch` (or `git am`) for example).

That's too bad: they could get the same visual prettiness without
changing the actual buffer's content.
