Well, technically, that's the correct way, but:
- it seems that for whetever the reason, diff seems to think original
files are empty
- there's no point of diffing files like i.e. configure or Makefile.in,
as they are auto-generated (in this case from configure.ac and
Makefile.am respectively)
- as I mentioned, dirs like .deps or autom4te.cache are just side
effects of the build, so their content is of no interest
Try generating the patch again, just check its content before you send
it.
