I think it will become simpler to sell and explain if you do not mention these options, and instead say that we are tweaking the default prefixes used when none of the other options are used, something like: Allow the default prefixes "a/" and "b/" to be tweaked by diff.srcprefix and diff.dstprefix configuration variables. > Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > +diff.srcprefix:: > + If set, 'git diff' uses this source prefix.

Instead of touching this part at all, and not adding diff_set_custom_prefix() function, how about just patching diff_set_default_prefix()? The function does not even have to be public and there is no need to touch the header file. Here is how I would simplify the code change part if I were doing this patch. It seems to pass t4013 (including your additional ones).
