Yeah, that's definitely better. Whether it's preferable over having it
after the signature separator I don't know. I personally liked that
version better, but can totally see why others may not like it.

I do not think anybody posted a version that writes inter/range diff
ater the signature mark.

No, I'm talking about the version that you hand crafted initially and
that kicked off this topic.

Ah, https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqh6ep1pwz.fsf_-_@gitster.g/ (local) I
forgot all about it already ;-).

... I just don't have a strong preference between the old and
new formats by now. If you or others feel strongly I don't mind at all
if this patch lands.

Let's scrap it then.  I do not think a single-patch topic happens
all that often anyway.

Hmm.  Actually, I find it logical and I don't think it should be 
scrapped.
As I wrote already, I find range diffs as really long footnotes, and
placing them at the end of "documents" seems like a logical choice to 
me.
