Thanks for catching it.
Getopt::Long was updated to 2.37 in perl 5.8.9 (in 5.8.8 it was
updated to 2.35). INSTALL still only recommends Perl 5.8 so that's an
issue.

Hm, perhaps we should introduce a 'no-prefix' option to work around
this.

That way, normal usage of --prefix would still be consistent with
other git commands that prefer the form with argument attached
(--prefix=foo, not --prefix foo; see gitcli(7)).
Thoughts?
