[PATCH] format-patch: generate valid patch with diff.noprefix config

From: Laurent Arnoud <hidden>
Date: 2020-06-02 20:49:30
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

With diff.noprefix enabled the patch generated with format-patch does not
include prefix a/ and b/ so not applicable with `git am`.
Solution is to force a_prefix and b_prefix on diffopt.
