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.
