But I also found the commit message and content confusing, probably
because I haven't programmed Pascal for 15 years.

You said

  Fixes bug: git-diff: class methods are not detected in hunk headers for Pascal


But the last line very conspicuously already mentions 'class', so why
does it fail?

I had to look up a bit of Pascal syntax.  Google helped with

  http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/ref.html

which answers this.  Also, as stated in SubmittingPatches, we
generally word the messages as stating the behaviour of the changed
version in the present tense.  So a better commit message would be

  userdiff: match Pascal class methods

  Class declarations were already covered by the second pattern, but
  class methods have the 'class' keyword in front too.  Account for
  it.

Ok, now I feel silly for only having a two-liner despite my
complaints.

That being said, I have now verified that the patch is good, and, you
can include my

  Acked-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>

in a reroll if you fix the above.
