Well, if the submitter wants to cheat, she/he certainly can this way, but what's the benefit, honestly? If the reviewer actually notices that there are more differences than the submitter admits to, the consequences may be quite unpleasant for the submitter (like the rejection of any future patches, for example). And mistakes are possible anyway (and the more patches you deal with, the greater the chances of making a mistake are).
Agreed.. I was focusing on the last part: mistakes.. People learn over time and can still commit mistakes.. So a diff is always better to see what changed.
