hmm, that's exciting.  How to tell diff and patch to remove a zero-length
file?

bix:/home/akpm> mkdir a b
bix:/home/akpm> touch a/a
bix:/home/akpm> diff -uNr a b
bix:/home/akpm> diff -u a b  
Only in a: a
bix:/home/akpm> diff -ur a b
Only in a: a
bix:/home/akpm> diff -uPr a b
Only in a: a

I'll just ask Linus to delete it ;)
