[Quilt-dev] Quilt fork semantics

Hello,

I have thought more about the semantics of `quilt fork'. Currently the
next patch in the series file is forked. This does not fit very well
into the way the other commands work, and does not do what most people
expect (IMO). The idea between forking the next patch was that after a
failed `quilt push', the next patch fails, so you'd fork it and `quilt
push -f' the forked patch. But that's not much diferent from pushing the
patch that fails and then forking it.

So I think we should make `quilt fork' fork the topmost patch.


Cheers,
