I'm in favour. The extension indicates file type, and gives
guidance on the
tool that can read it. Though .patch is stored in text it's more
than that
(c.f. .html) - the text inside it has meaning beyond just the text.
To me, .txt would implies that the file format is in human-language
format
(i.e. words, sentences, and paragraphs).
Ditto.
Also, Vim nicely detects the From <SHA1> line at the top and thinks
that it's an mbox file. With the patch extension it ignores that and
gives me my diff coloring again.
