UnifiedDiffReader merges consecutive Git file sections when the preceding file has no text hunk. A patch generated by Git containing a binary edit, an empty-file addition, a mode-only change, a 100% rename, and a text edit currently returns one file instead of five; the final text file also inherits the preceding files' metadata.

Start a fresh file when another diff command is encountered within the same header section. Regression tests cover header-only files before a text hunk, consecutive header-only files at EOF, and a text hunk followed by mode-only and binary changes. They check file counts, metadata isolation, and application of the text patch.

Validation on Temurin 17.0.20.1:

• Replayed the Git-generated five-file patch: one file before the fix, five independent files afterward.
• The first two regression tests fail on the original implementation and pass with the fix.
• mvn -B package passes across both modules: 170 tests, no failures or errors, 3 existing skipped tests. Checkstyle reports no violations.

AI assistance was used to implement the fix and regression tests; the verification above was run locally.
