I just realized that this same thing is equally true of just plain mode changes, where wif we don't have any content we just get

	diff --git a/name b/name
	old mode xxxx
	new mode yyyy

so I might as well parse the diff header here (I don't want to repeat the name twice for mode changes). Oh well.
