[PATCH 1/1] range-diff: internally force `diff.noprefix=false`

Message-ID: <1f84f92846bc14d21aa7339c8baa0f9bb710b17d.1570039511.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.373.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

When parsing the diffs, `range-diff` expects to see the prefixes `a/` and `b/` in the diff headers.

These prefixes can be forced off via the config setting `diff.noprefix=true`. As `range-diff` is not prepared for that situation, this will cause a segmentation fault.

Let's avoid that by forcing `diff.noprefix=false` just for that all to `git log` that generates the diffs that `range-diff` wants to parse.
