We use a naming convention for patches.
Thus the 3rd new patch created today by me would have the name:

20100629.03.tpd.patch

which orders the patches by date, sub-sequence, and author.
You might want to use your spkg name instead as in:

20100629.03.singular.patch

This would ensure that patches are unique.

But if there are two three files

patches/foo.c
patches/foo.c.diff

what does patches/foo.c.diff possibly give me that could could get by
running

diff src/foo.c patches/foo.c ?

This requires that patches/foo.c was made from src/foo.c.  This is the
case for the current version, but if you look at a previous version of
patches/foo.c in the repository, you have to go out and get the
corresponding src/foo.c from the internet in order to see what the
change actually was.
