[development] Please stop using git diff --no-prefix. -p1 patches are now the standard

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

managed in the Documentation project issue queue, with tag "git".

And there is already an issue to merge the previous stuff in the 
patching section into the Git docs. It's in the Documentation project.
