I think you can have --src-prefix=a- --dst-prefix=b- and see
"diff a-foo b-foo" ;-).  I really do not care much either way,
as long as it does not say "diff --git".

This is also an offtopic remark but I have been wondering how
safe those fake "diff --git" output people seem to be able to
get out of recent-enough Hg.
