If you want to create an empty file, the patch would look like this:
diff --git a/bar b/bar
index 257cc56..e69de29 100644
--- a/bar
+++ b/bar
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-foo
On the other hand, if you want to remove an empty file, the patch would
look like this:
diff --git a/bar b/bar
deleted file mode 100644
index 257cc56..0000000
--- a/bar
+++ /dev/null
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-foo
A patch generated by non-git tools would lack "index" and "deleted" lines,
but they will still have difference between "bar" and "/dev/null" on the
postimage filename (i.e. "+++" line), and git-apply leaves an empty file
for the former, and removes the file for the latter patch.
