If I remember correctly there were two patches which solved it differently:
one gave

   --- a/source:file
   +++ b/dest:file

second (and I guess it is better solution)

   --- a/file
   +++ b/file

Unfortunately they seem unapplied...
I think I explained why it was not enough in a neighboring
thread.  You would need to defeat the rename classification done
in diff.c::diff_resolve_rename_copy().

The diff reversal is independent.  I think it was introduced by
mistake when we switched revision.c::add_pending_object() to use
object_array from object_list.

Here is a patch to fix the reversal (swapping of indices for
blob[].sha1 in builtin-diff.c), show both names (swapping of
indices for blob[].name in builtin-diff.c), and not mistake this
as an rename (all the rest).  The change touches rather delicate
parts of the system, so I am reluctant to do the latter two at
this late in the game for 1.4.2, but please do test it and give
feedback.
