You can file it, but we'll mark it invalid, because we emulate the
behavior of diff, that this is what diff does:

$ mkdir foo
$ mkdir bar
$ echo baz> foo/baz
$ TZ="utc" diff -urN foo bar
diff -urN foo/baz bar/baz
- --- foo/baz 2008-06-13 20:53:00.000000000 +0000
+++ bar/baz 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000
