It is not so ugly, but I think the original code is broken wrt
its calling of quote_c_style().  It will output "a/" literally
and then would spit out the path with quoting.  IOW, you would
get something like:

	--- a/"foo\tbar"
        +++ b/"foo\tbar"

when it should show:

	--- "a/foo\tbar"
        +++ "b/foo\tbar"

Incidentally, I just noticed that diff.c::emit_rewrite_diff()
has the same bug.

Here is a fix to combine-diff.c

[PATCH] combine-diff: Fix path quoting

Earlier when showing combined diff, the filenames on the ---/+++
header lines were quoted incorrectly.  a/ (or b/) prefix was
output literally and then the path was output, with c-quoting.

This fixes the quoting logic, and while at it, adjusts the code
to use the customizable prefix (a_prefix and b_prefix)
introduced recently.
