As long as we maintain the patch in diff, then gnulib-tool will tell us
(any time we update git submodule for gnulib) whether we have to
regenerate the diff, at which point we can cater to a new option by
bumping our value for FTS_NOLEAF. Here's an example of coreutils
storing its project-local diffs to upstream gnulib:
