Umm.. Why not just say "if the line after the 'diff' line doesn't start 
with '@@ ', then it's a binary diff"?

Thanks, that makes sense.

Maybe not; parse_single_patch would have eaten '@@ -' lines so
in practice that amounts to not checking anything at all.

Which is not a bad idea, though...  That means we would treat
all empty patches as binary diffs, which is certainly simple,
but is it safe enough?
