I think per-repository configuration might be sufficient for this
particular case (after all, it is project's preference), I wonder if
a more command-specific variant of diff.noprefix so that "log -p"
and "format-patch" can be configured separately would make sense,
something like...

    [diff]
	noprefix = true
    [diff "format-patch"]
	noprefix = false
    [diff "show"]
	noprefix = false
