I'd rather not.

Or maybe streamline the common case (modified) by *not* saying anything,
then? I.e.

	@@ Documentation/Makefile

for a modified file,

	@@ builtin/psuh.c (new)

for a new file,

	@@ git-add--interactive.perl (deleted)

for a removed one, and

	@@ builtin/serve.c -> t/helper/test-serve-v2.c

for a renamed one.

That should also give us a bit of wiggle room to append the function name
part of the inner hunk header, if any.

Ciao,
Dscho
