I don't think "but they should be using plumbing to generate patches"
is the right answer, either. Yes, we expect the diff porcelain to behave
differently depending on configuration, but with the exception of
textconv, it always produces an actual applicable patch.

I don't by into that argument: You have to give --binary if you have 
changes in binary files. With Michael's patch, you have to give 
--no-textonv (too). I'm in favor of the patch.
