The above is misleading.
The implementation of `--add-file` has always honored the prefix,
while the implementation of `--add-virtual-file` has always ignored
the prefix.
would make it easier to assess how long existing users may have been
relying on the current behaviour.

Yes, this is a very good thing to mention. It is probably the
reason why the implementation decided not to add prefix to the "full
path" that already can have the leading directories.

Very nice job explaining the chosen design clearly (even though I do
not necessarily agree with the direction this patch is going).
Also, given that this option was introduced for an explicit purpose
of using it to write out diagnostics archive file, we should mention
that this change does not break it in the proposed log message, at
least. Of course, we should do so after verifying that is indeed
the case, and better yet, after verifying that it will be hard for
future changes to diagnose.c to trigger an unexpected behaviour
caused by this change [*].

The "changes since v1" section does not belong to the log message
proper, as v1 never happened as long as readers of "git log" are
concerned. It is a very good thing to help reviewers to have below
the three-dash lines that comes after your sign-off, though.

OK. With different payload at different paths, it is easier than
the previous round to see where things are expected to go in the
result.
[Footnote]
* I got curious and did this part for you. After calling
add_directory_to_archiver() that uses "--prefix" to move the
target directory around in the output hierarchy, the code clears
with "--prefix="---even a future change to diagnose.c adds more
uses to --add-virtual-file= after it happens, it will not go to
deep in the directory hierarchy where the last use of "--prefix"
happened to be pointing at.
