I can't think of a case where it matters, though, so maybe it is just
paranoia.

A line-counting, statistics tool would think that 1 line has been
removed from both branches, and one new added by the merge.

Well, I know no tool parsing combined diff actually, so it's indeed a
hypothetical case.

And the ones that have been parsing cdiff wouldn't have done anything good
before this change on such a binary blob anyway, no?
