Another thing I noticed is that while libxdiff always shows full

emits correctly.  Running t/t1200 shows some obvious examples.

Actually, the GNU diff output is the special case, and git-apply handles 
it as such. 

We could make libxdiff do the same @@-shortening, but it doesn't seem to 
be huge deal.
