Thanks, -- it was interesting to read corresponding discussions.

Due to this change in GNU diff, it seems that empty line is indeed a
wrong choice for syntactic hunk separator :( I wonder if there is a
common way to say "here the patch ends" then[1]? My best guess is that

===

will do.

[1] I've checked bzr and hg. Bzr uses empty line for that (followed by
"# Begin bundle" line) in their "merge directive" format. Not
Emacs-friendly either :( Hg's "export" just EOFs after the patch.
