>- Use the .patch or .diff or no extension at all, not .txt.

Why? This is Linux, where filename extensions are next to ignored.

One place where they are not ignored is Emacs, where using the .patch suffix 
results in the buffer's being read-only. This is not good as I have to 
remove a hunk that updates my Alva driver the way I want it. I doubt the 
driver's author would want to do it my way instead of his way.
