The useful thing about a meta-level is that it provides some context
for the names -- e.g., in a patch-file I made today:
--- gcc-3.4.4/gcc/reload1.c 2005-03-18 06:11:35.000000000 +0900
+++ gcc-3.4.4-supk0-20051028/gcc/reload1.c 2005-10-28 20:32:40.695594000
+0900
As I'm careful to always use meaningful tags, that tells me exactly
what was diffed, and does so in an in-band manner that is unlikely to
get lost (e.g., by patch-munging programs) or overlooked.
