Exactly. What causes breakage is the fact that the '-' character (as
well as '+', ' ', '!', '#', and '\'), being the first symbol of a line
has special meaning in the diff format.

Therefore it seems that format-patch should better put one empty line
after the last diff hunk and before the signature. Any objections?
