When adding or deleting a file, we shouldn't ever prefix /dev/null
with the a/ or b/ prefixes. Doing so is a mistake and confuses a
patch parser which handles /dev/null magically, while a/dev/null is
a file called null in the dev directory of the project.
Also when adding or deleting the "diff --git" line has the "real"
path on both sides, so we should see the following when adding the
file called foo:
diff --git a/foo b/foo
--- /dev/null
+++ b/foo
The --- and +++ lines do not appear in a pure rename or copy delta,
C Git diff seems to omit these, so we now omit them as well. We also
omit the index line when the ObjectIds are exactly equal.
