Having had time to think about it for a while, I think that the 
--no-prefix still can make sense with --git.  For example, if I want to 
submit a gitk patch, but only have git.git (and consequently, made the fix 
in that repository), I could use "git diff --no-prefix" to make it easier 
for Paul, no?
