port not generating Fix

[eydaimon]

I've modified the port Makefile for devel/py-utils and I run port test. It looks like port has changed, and I now run port submit -m update as opposed to just port submit. However, port no longer seems to generate a diff for the Fix: section. What I see now is:

...
>Description:
- Update to 0.4.0

Generated with FreeBSD Port Tools 0.77
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

begin 644 py25-utils-0.4.0.patch
`
end

Any idea what this begin 644 is all about?

The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters and includes the mode of the file and the operand name for use by uudecode.

begin = start uuencode block
644 = file mode (chmod value)
name = file name to be used by uudecode
ASCII stuff (uuencoded)
end = end uuencode block

does this mean it's ok to submit the port the way it shows up like that?

Apparently not, because I went ahead and submitted and Wilke mentioned it was empty.

Anyone else know what's going on?
