Merge branch 'jk/format-patch-ignore-noprefix'

"git format-patch" honors the src/dst prefixes set to nonstandard
values with configuration variables like "diff.noprefix", causing
receiving end of the patch that expects the standard -p1 format to
break.  Teach "format-patch" to ignore end-user configuration and
always use the standard prefixes.

This is a backward compatibility breaking change.

* jk/format-patch-ignore-noprefix:
  rebase: prefer --default-prefix to --{src,dst}-prefix for format-patch
  format-patch: add format.noprefix option
  format-patch: do not respect diff.noprefix
  diff: add --default-prefix option
  t4013: add tests for diff prefix options
  diff: factor out src/dst prefix setup

 format.mboxrd::
 	A boolean value which enables the robust "mboxrd" format when
 	`--stdout` is in use to escape "^>+From " lines.
+
+format.noprefix::
+	If set, do not show any source or destination prefix in patches.
+	This is equivalent to the `diff.noprefix` option used by `git
+	diff` (but which is not respected by `format-patch`). Note that
+	by setting this, the receiver of any patches you generate will
+	have to apply them using the `-p0` option.
