Well the exactly same reasoning on my part, who keeps tons of untracked files in his repository, left the patch output there. Otherwise I have to scroll off a long "untracked files" list to get to the patch ;-).

But even with that gripe, I'd agree that patch at the end would be a better choice. The user asked for a patch so she wouldn't fail to see it even if many '#' lines precede the patch. With the current ordering, '#' lines will most likely be ignored.
