Subject: git apply does not honor diff.noprefix config setting
Message-ID: <CAM_JFCza0Az32RC-ytu_6PxG9JnteySPEDyKEeDzZAv9MdadAQ@mail.gmail.com>

If I disable mnemonic prefix,

$ git config --global diff.noprefix true

and do a round-trip of format-patch and apply,

$ git format-patch -1 @
$ git apply <some-file.patch>

git apply fails with,

error: git diff header lacks filename information when removing 1
leading pathname component (line 16)

Without 'diff.noprefix' config setting, git apply works. It seems git
apply does not honor the diff.noprefix config setting.


Thanks,
Rish
