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.
