[PATCH 2/2] builtin-apply: do not declare patch is creation when we do not know it

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In-Reply-To: <7vve1dcn0m.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org>

When we see no context nor deleted line in the patch, we used to declare that the patch creates a new file. But some people create an empty file and then apply a patch to it. Similarly, a patch that delete everything is not a deletion patch either.

This commit corrects these two issues. Together with the previous commit, it allows a diff between an empty file and a line-ful file to be treated as both creation patch and "add stuff to an existing empty file", depending on the context. A new test t4126 demonstrates the fix.
