Hmm, does not reproduce for me.

$ git checkout v1.7.6 ;# or whatever random commit I had at hand
$ git show --no-prefix >P.diff
$ grep "^diff --git" P.diff
diff --git Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.6.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.6.txt
diff --git Documentation/git.txt Documentation/git.txt
diff --git GIT-VERSION-GEN GIT-VERSION-GEN
$ git checkout HEAD^
$ git apply -p0 <P.diff
$ git diff v1.7.6 ; echo nothing
nothing
$ git diff --stat
