As I said last week, I merged the following thirteen patches about lib/quilt.el.

    quilt-el: be aware of QUILT_PATCHES
    quilt-el: simplify quilt-revert
    quilt-el: considering default-directory' is nil
    quilt-el: optimize `quilt-revert'
    quilt-el: update the maintainer's email addres.
    quilt-el: return to the original cwd even if `shell-command' failed.
    quilt-el: fix polluting namespace by nested function.
    quilt-el: cleanup codes by introducing `quilt-cmd-to-list' function.
    quilt-el: supporting multiple quilt trees
    quilt-el: make it checkdoc clean.
    quilt-el: make it byte compile clean
    quilt-el: remove `Version' and `URL' tags in the document
    quilt-el: fix `quilt-patch-list' to call `quilt series'..

Now this script is up-to-date. It would be useful for all emacs&quilt users
who often accidentally edit not-yet-quilt-added files (yes, It's me.)
Such mistakes can automatically be avoided by it :-)

Thanks,
Satoru
