Fair enough. It looks a bit strange in gitk, but maybe that could be rectified by just making the new/deleted file case say so explcitly instead of having the "mode" line.

So instead of just "mode", how about saying "deleted file mode" or "new file mode" the way that the regular diffs do (but then not showing the contents for the deleted case).
