Write a function which returns the name of the current file (if any) when viewing a patch. There is not always an "Index:" line, see e.g. Bram's patches at ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/ with filenames 7.2.001 to (at the moment) 7.2.055 Then insert in your custom 'statusline' an expression part, for instance %{(&ft\ ==\ 'diff')?IndexName():''} which inserts the return value of the function when 'filetype' is set to "diff", the empty string otherwise. (Remember that, as has been done above, spaces, double quotes, vertical bars and literal backslashes must be backslash-escaped in the argument of a ":set" command.)
