Some projects (not this one) do not want to see a/ and b/ prefix in their patches, and noprefix is an option for those who needs to give patches to such projects. As "am" can be told with -p<num> to accept such a patch just fine, I do not think this change is appropriate. > Solution is to force a_prefix and b_prefix on diffopt. Sorry, I do not think there is any problem to be solved here ;-)
