Huh? I've never seen such a line. And I'm using quilt a lot on the
commandline. It's either very new or not generated by any of the quilt
commands usually in my workflow (quilt subcommands add, edit, new and
refresh). But then again that patch was generated by quilt on Debian
Unstable just a few days ago using "quilt new", "quilt add" (maybe
"quilt edit" instead) and "quilt refresh" IIRC.

This is what I'd have expected. Potentially it should split on
'^Index: ', too, as that belongs to some patch formats, IIRC those
emitted by some git commands. ("quilt refresh" usually removes those
lines, though.)

Yay!
