Hi,

I have here a patchset extracted from my own git-repo (via git format-patch).

The project for which those patches are want "p0" format, means no
---- a/... +++ b/... but --- ... +++ ...

IIRC git does "p1" format as default.
Any help? Idea?

If I understand correctly, you are in luck.  The "git format-patch
--no-prefix" command thanks to Dscho seems to do exactly that:

 $ git log -Sno-prefix -- Documentation/diff-options.txt

    Teach diff machinery to display other prefixes than "a/" and "b/"

    With the new options "--src-prefix=<prefix>", "--dst-prefix=<prefix>"
    and "--no-prefix", you can now control the path prefixes of the diff
    machinery.  These used to by hardwired to "a/" for the source prefix
    and "b/" for the destination prefix.

    Initial patch by Pascal Obry.  Sane option names suggested by Linus.

Hi Jonathan,

I played a bit with git format-patch and git diff and got some helpful
hints from friends of #grml and #quassel.de.
Attached is the README.txt I produced some hours ago.
