Subject: 29.0.60; diff-apply-hunk doesn't work for creating new files
Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2023 01:14:25 +0000 (UTC)

1. emacs -Q
2. Put the following content in a diff-mode buffer:
diff --git a/foo b/foo
new file mode 100644
--- /dev/null
+++ b/foo
@@ -0,0 +1,1 @@
+content
3. C-c C-a

Expected behavior: A file called "foo" with content "content" is
created.

Observed behavior: diff-mode prompts for the location of "b/foo", and
doesn't allow specifying the location as a non-existent file, meaning
the file can't actaully be created.
