It's still in the universal patch format, with or without the path prefixes. Also nobody should commit a patch blindly. They should review the patch, at which point they will also have to take note of where the patch should be applied (root src directory, some other sub directory, same directory as the changed file etc.). By the time they actually commit the patch they will know what patch command to use. I don't consider any of this an aggravation or extra annoyance - just the standard procedure for reviewing and applying any patch. So even though you went to extra effort in creating your patch (kudos to you), it hardly makes a difference to the person applying the patch.
