Since the hunk header pattern text was written patterns for Ruby and Pascal/Delphi have been added. For users to be able to find them they should be documented not only in code.

Would it maybe be a good idea to also link to this information in the git diff documentation? At the moment I can't find any documentation about hunk headers and hunk header patterns at all in the diff documentation. The git diff documentation is the first place I would look for that kind of information. OTOH, the diff documentation is already quite lengthy and I'm not really found of making it even longer. Oppinions how this nice feature should best be made generally known?
