So I did. I also added a new test case (import2.test) which is
basically a copy of import.test, but for compressed patches. Although
it tests mainly the import command, the new, add, refresh, pop, header
and delete commands are also used, so it can be seen as a general test
for compressed patches handling. Such a test was missing so far.
