A very stupid question about formatting a patch :)

[Aleksander Alekseev]

Hello.

When I do `git format-patch` I get something like this:

```
 Documentation/kselftest.txt | 5 +++--
 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)

diff --git a/Documentation/kselftest.txt b/Documentation/kselftest.txt
index 979eaca..54bee77 100644
(SNIP)
```

Note an empty line between statistics and patch itself. Judging by
lkml.org _everyone_ removes this empty line. So my question is --- is
there really such a requirement for formatting a patch or it's just
something that depends on git version?
