Well, no: makepatch would never (and it's not supposed to) be so smart
to detect/mitigate these things.  Evaluating a diff (and commit hygiene
in general) is committer's responsibility.

That said, I understand that worrying about diff S/N is not for everyone,
just want to point out that one can control it, and quite easily: simple
svn revert after svn diff/st is usually sufficient.

Clean diffs help the readers, make svn blame'ing and source archaeology
in general easier.
