Bug Description

  affects bzr-pipeline

Reported by Ben Finney in Debian against bzr-pipeline:
> The apparent purpose of the ‘pipeline’ plugin is to allow generating
> patches, in a more organised fashion than using ‘diff’ for each patch.
>
> In that case, the following options to the Bazaar ‘diff’ command
> should also be supported by ‘pipe-patches’:
>
> -p ARG, --prefix=ARG Set prefixes added to old and new filenames, as two
> values separated by a colon. (eg "old/:new/").
> --diff-options=ARG Pass these options to the external diff program.
>
> These would allow control over the generated patch files, presumably
> using existing functionality in Bazaar.
