It doesn't, but I thought it would handle the rest of them. But it turns out it
doesn't because diff -u quotes filenames in that case, so I need to make a
bigger patch to dequote filenames and add test cases to the test suite for that.
(Hard part's figuring out which character trigger quoting, but I've got ls
torture test plumbing I can repurpose for that...)

And then yes, a tab would end the line. :)
