The "experimental" branch [*] now has very lightly tested code for parsing
most extended headers ("index", "rename from", "rename to", "copy from", "copy
to", "old mode", "new mode", "deleted file mode", "new file mode"). Most
things should work, except:
* Doesn't parse filenames in "diff --git" lines. (I tried to argue why
those lines are a problem in this thread.)
* sha1 checksums are not verified right now. I'm not sure when that should
happen: always by default, or only optionally? (Like verifying file modes,
this is going to surprise a lot of users.)
* Similarity and dissimilarity headers are ignored.
* Binary diffs are no supported. I think GNU patch should recognize them and
give a reasonable message for now.

Can you guys please do something to make parsing of filenames in "diff --git"
lines a lot easier, or unnecessary?
Thanks!
