* lisp/vc/ediff.el (ediff-patch-file)

emacs -Q:
(in *scratch* buffer)

(with-temp-file "/tmp/buff"
  (insert "foo bar"))

(with-current-buffer (generate-new-buffer "buff2")
  (insert "foo baz"))

;; call ediff-buffers on "buff" and "buff2" and save the
;; differences in a buffer "patch"

(epatch nil (get-buffer "patch")) ; ok
(epatch nil "patch") ; BAD
