You may recall that GNU diff -u changed recently so that it no
longer outputs any trailing space unless the input data has it.

I still consider that to be a bug in GNU "diff -u".

We work around that bug when applying patches, but I don't think we should
replicate it.

Me neither.

I can't say I didn't expect this.
