Olaf, what version of patch are you using?

Mostly 2.7.x, but also add 2.5.x to the mix.
So far I did not try what the tools dealing with the resulting patch
file would actually do with such a stripped down variant.

I think the way to go is --no-renames until you stop using patch <2.7.
If you don't want to specify it each time, you can revert to the pre-2.9
behavior by setting

[diff]
	renames = false

in ~/.gitconfig.
