This is incomplete and leaves to confusing behavior for some git
diffs. In particular with 'diff.mnemonicprefix = true' the prefix is
awesome something other than 'a/'. It can be 'w' for working copy, 'i'
for index, 'c' for commit, or some other values.

While I don't oppose this feature, it'd be better if we did not tie it
to a single specific prefix.
