At this point, we know that line.buf starts with "+++"...

so, it seems unlikely that it's ever going to match "--- /dev/null".

All of these disposition strings end with "file", which seems
redundant. Short and sweet "new", "removed", "renamed", "modified"
provide just as much useful information.
Also, should these strings be localizable? Alternately, rather than
using prose to describe the disposition, perhaps do so symbolically
(thus universally), say with "+", "-", "->", "*" (or ""),
respectively?
