This one I understand is an improvement

Moving from "diff src/dstprefix" to "diff.*prefix" feels more like a regresison to me, when it is about interaction between {src,dst}prefix and other kind of prefix variables like {no,mnemonic}prefix. I would have understood if the updated title were more like:

    test_expect_success 'diff.{src,dst}Prefix are ignored with diff.noPrefix'

I am tempted to queue v4 with the z/ -> y/ fix from this round, without any other changes from v4 to v5.

Thanks, both.
