(In reply to Kyle Evans from comment #0)

I have a small concern here: patch(1) should be able to apply any patch
generated by diff(1).

For the ports tree, in particular, it seems critical that anything generated
with "make makepatch" (diff -upn if I remember well) should always work with
patch(1).

I looked at some of the ports that are affected and portlint does complain
about the original patches: if it's just old patches that still apply by sheer
luck then it's OK, otherwise we shouldn't have to use specific diff flags to
generate valid patches.
