Traditionally as a project we have generated patches with --no-prefix. As Mike said on ReviewBoard:
"--no-prefix used to be required to generate a patch that was compatible with both Subversion and Git, but since we have switched over to using only Git it should not be necessary anymore. Still, I've regenerated the patch with --no-prefix." As a project should we switch over to the default git prefix? I am fine with the current scenario or using a prefix, I'd just like us to be consistent. Brock
