Hi, I took this patch, but it seems something is misconfigured on your
end for patch generation -- normally I'd expect to need "-p1", not "-p0"
to apply patches. Are you using "git format-patch" to produce these
patches?

I recently enabled diff.noprefix for easier copying of file names from
git-diff output. I have now noticed the git-format-patch is also
affected, and that it breaks the default git-am -p1. So I have reverted
diff.noprefix to its default.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for letting me know.
