It is not really unpredictable.

- whitespace at the end of line is stripped
- too long lines are _always_ broken (and our diffstat lines qualify for 
  that)
- empty lines at the end of the message are stripped (does not concern us)
- empty lines at the beginning of the message are stripped (does not 
  concern us either)
- encodings different from UTF-8 are a problem

Of course, the first reason already precludes diffs from being sent. Just 
think of an empty line, which is in both versions (or even worse, a single 
space on the line).

Ciao,
Dscho
