Hi,

I am using git to manage some patches on top of the actual upstream files, but noticed that the result of git-format-patch changed between 4bfe7cb6668c43c1136304bbb17eea1b3ddf0237 and 27af01d552331eacf1ed2671b2b4b6ad4c268106

I've attached two input files (I tried to provide a minimal example... I am not sure if a smaller example is possible but at least both files are smaller than 10 lines) and the results with version 1.7.6.3 and and 1.7.7. The diffs were created using: git diff anonymized_orig anonymized_new

My .gitconfig file is empty.

Thanks
