[DISCUSS] patch format

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.

Yes I am +1/2 on *not* using --no-prefix since it's less typing.

If no one responds and disagrees, let's stop using --no-prefix.

I have similar opinion that I do not much care. However I tent to not use --no-prefix as it means less typing for me. But I'm good with both options.

I don't have a strong preference, as long as it works with Review Board I'm
fine with doing whatever.
