Yeah. I think that we shouldn't care about this, or about
context/unified diffs, or really anything other than that patch can
apply it. Once you apply it, you can issue the correct incantation to
see it in whatever format you prefer. If it's a whole patch stack, it
makes sense to use 'git format-patch' to generate the patches, because
then it's a lot easier to apply the whole stack, but for a single
patch it really doesn't matter.
