Hi, As documented at http://lens.incubator.apache.org/developer/contribute.html#Generating_patch, we said we will use git diff --no-prefix for generating patch and use git apply -p0 for applying. Starting this discussion if we want to remove that going forward.
There are two reasons why i think we should remove it. 1. They are not the default way to generate patch on git. 2. Review board is not accepting patches generated with --no-prefix to be uploaded. The only reason we had no-prefix was to not include a/ b/ in the paths sothat it looks clean. If people are fine with removing --no-prefix, I can create a follow up jira for updating contributor doc. Thoughts? Thanks Amareshwari
