The rest of the entry says:

diff
  Make sure we handle empty files properly:
    From the patch man page:

   you can remove a file by sending out a context diff that compares
   the file to be deleted with an empty file dated the Epoch.  The
   file will be removed unless patch is conforming to POSIX and the
   -E or --remove-empty-files option is not given.
