OK, great, thanks for reporting. I'll apply it then. Andreas, no
objection?

I expect some more fixes to be required though. For example I suspect
we don't handle "quilt import -f" properly if the original patch was
reverted and the new one isn't, and vice-versa. Pretty much the same
problem as with the strip level, discussed here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2007-01/msg00011.html

I also think that "-R" or "-p" appearing in a comment after a patch
name in the series.conf file would be the victim of side effects when
we update the patch arguments. This case isn't covered by the test
suite as far as I can tell.
