I'm also bit unhappy with tying git_patchset_body code to the
minute details of git-diff output.

Gitweb requires git with --git-dir at least, so I don't think it
(it meaning "complete rewrite" patch being "split patch") is
a problem here.

I'll try to come with the second solution.

I wonder if the post-image name is unique in raw format of diff
output, and can be used alone to check if there are two patches
per one raw output format line...
