[PATCH v2 0/1] Avoid segmentation fault in git range-diff when diff.noprefix=true

This PR was inspired by this bug report: https://public-inbox.org/git/20191002141615.GB17916@kitsune.suse.cz/T/#me576615d7a151cf2ed46186c482fbd88f9959914

Changes since v1:

 * Use a command-line option instead of a command-line config setting.
 * Instead of forcing a prefix, force no prefix (and adjust the strip
   level).
 * Fix typo "all" -> "call" in the commit message (and adjust it to reflect
   the other changes since v1, too).
