I suspect not, as I don't think I ever did anything to the codepath for -B
output, and I also recall spending some time thinking about this issue in
an earlier message that I mentioned -B besides "deletion", none of the
suggestions in which I don't think I tried to implement.

I also vaguely recall that I suspected that the output may not have the
usual "index deadbeaf..000000 mode" line and that I chose to ignore it.

So, no, not good enough ;-).
