I am leaving the editor when I have done my edits (and calling "quilt
edit" with a single file).
A check could be done at the end of the edit command to see if a refresh
is needed or an attempt to refresh even if it is unneeded (that is
what is done optionally in the patch). I think this is safe to do.
