I'll retitle and rewrite the message like so:

    diff-format.txt: dst can be 0* SHA-1 when path is deleted, too
    
    "dst" can legitimately be "0\{40\}" for a creation patch, e.g. when
    the stat information is stale, but it falls into "look at work tree"
    case.  The original description in b6d8f309 ([PATCH] diff-raw format
    update take #2., 2005-05-23) forgot that deletion also makes the
    "dst" 0* SHA-1.
