Hmm. I'm not entirely conviced. If people really think that the hunk
description matters that much, maybe we should just instead improve on
the automatic diff detection, and extend it from just binary-vs-text,
to also do the common hunk-headers.

After all, not having a diff pattern already *does* mean "automatic",
so it would be just a rather trivial extension to that.

Junio?
