```
In git-config(1), diff.noprefix was placed in between
diff.mnemonicprefix and the list of mnemonic prefixes, which is
obviously incorrect and very confusing to readers.  Now, it is located
after the end of the explanation of mnemonicprefix, which makes much
more sense.

Good find. Apologies, looks like that was an issue with the original patch.
