Not so much surprising, no, but I hadn't expected it to fail altogether on entries that just end after one line of text
justbecause they lack a newline character - they are a one line text after all, so I assumed that the diff would
producea "replace this old line with the new one" type of instruction instead of producing something that patch doesn't
seemto be able to process at all.
