It's showing the first 3 lines and the last line because of "context" - when
the patch is finally applied, the change may not apply at line 4, due to *other*
patches having added/deleted lines.  Usually git will display 3 lines either
side of the changed line.

Go ahead, create a 25 line patch, and change line 15, and see what the diff
shows then.
