I do not know if I like the end result, but here is a patch to make the
traditional a/ and b/ prefix more mnemonic.

Hmm. Something deep in my gut doesn't like this, just because I like the
fact that no matter how I prepare a diff (and I do tend to do it
different ways and post to the mailing list) it always ends up the same.

I had the exact same reaction when I prepared and sent the patch with i/
and w/ prefixes.  I'm trying to see if that "deep in my gut" feeling is
merely coming from my being very used to see a/ vs b/ or something more
fundamental, even though my working hypothesis is that I'll get used to
it.
