FreeBSD comes with a version of "diff" which does not add the "\ No newline at end of file" remark. Maybe your "diff" is simply too old. In that case, it's not a serious problem because Git uses its own internal diff implementation. The intention of this test is to test git-apply and not the system's "diff", so perhaps it should bring along all its patches and not rely on the system's "diff" to generate them...
