Do not show any source or destination prefix.
--default-prefix::
- Use the default source and destination prefixes ("a/" and "b/").
- This is usually the default already, but may be used to override
- config such as `diff.noprefix`.

How about this instead:
Ignore any configuration variables that control source and
destination prefixes, which includes `diff.noPrefix`,
`diff.srcPrefix`
and `diff.dstPrefix` (see `git-config`(1)), and use the default
prefixes `a/` and `b/`.
--line-prefix=<prefix>::
Prepend an additional prefix to every line of output.
