Why not ? But do you have a motivation for this change ? I mean why would you want to use a completely different prefix ?

My change was only for format-patch as this is used to build patch that some other tools can process. If we find a sensible usage for your prefix option I'm all for it as this solves also my problem. It is just that I think all options must have at least one usage :)
