How to create patch suitable for reviewing in crucible?

Previously accepted solutions don't work for me when viewing a specific file/commit (the -U option seems to mess with rev/path parsing), but --inter-hunk-context= works in this case on git version 2.24.0:

git diff \
    --no-prefix \
    --inter-hunk-context=2000 \
    master -- \
        path/to/file.py

If you don't know the file size, you can of course find it with wc -l instead of hard-coding it:

git diff \
    --no-prefix \
    --inter-hunk-context=$(wc -l path/to/file.py) \
    master -- \
        path/to/file.py
