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
 commit eab9a40b6dd5c1c571b1deb264133db47bb4794d
 Author: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>
 Date:   Tue Dec 18 19:32:14 2007 +0000

     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.
