You can generate patches with the different diff algorithms, but I don't 
think it makes any difference to what gets committed in the git 
repository, or rather it doesn't make any difference when patches are 
sent upstream from that intermediate repository as the diff will be 
regenerated on the fly.

I guess your ugly patch is moving stuff around to avoid forward 
declarations?  Splitting it up into a number of steps seems to help in 
that case.
