Cannot parse diffstat generated by git format-patch

[gagath]

The parser interprets the --- at the beginning of a diffstat as a file modified in a patch instead of ignoring at as part of the patch message. Below is an example patch generated by git format-patch that will fail to be parsed because of the diffstat:
