The difference there is that GNU/Larry Wall diff does not prepend a/ and b/ to the paths. Maybe use this as an indicator for "this patch is relative to project root" vs. "this patch doesn't know where it wants to be applied".
A parameter --subdir, or even plain -pN could mean "apply this patch here, now."
