I agree on this patch being better than nothing, but IMHO we can
make the check better. In the hunk header we can learn about the
expected lines to read for this hunk and after the hunk we only have
3 possible lines:

  * it's the next hunk, then the line starts with @@
  * it's a new file, so the line starts with "diff --git"
  * it's the end of the patch, so the line is "--\n" and the line there after
    is version number as git describe puts (not sure we want to test on that)

I think this would be a add more safety against missformed patches.
