pretty much all of them. the diffs only really show that it's coming from the same source, the changed hash and maybe some urls for some patches. actually looking at what is in that changed hash is a much more complicated story. this gives end users a false sense of security ("i read the diffs" -- not really), and attackers a clean vector (all it takes is one bad commit that might not even be on a real branch, or linked patch or late download dependency in the package itself).
