So in trying to write a new reproducer, I found the cause of the bug. A submodule in "modified
content" or "untracked content" state (i.e. no new commit) has no "index" line in its diff
header. diff-so-fancy, with --patch, always *adds* a blank line before the diff-header
because its modified diff header is 3 lines, whereas Git's is 4. So the count is off
specifically for submodules in "modified/untracked content" state.
It seems the C version is less lenient than the Perl version, because the Perl version does
not complain. But I'd say that it's more of a bug on the diff-so-fancy side, even if it
is a regression of the builtin version...
Delta does not alter the header (in its default configuration) and so it is not affected here.
For what it's worth, here is the updated reproducer script. It also downloads the 'delta' executable (for Linux)
and runs it. With delta, both Perl and C versions work. With diff-so-fancy, the C version
complains bout mismatched output.
```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -euEo pipefail
repo=repro
rm -rf $repo
