Are you sure?  This will exit, and yet, there was nothing really wrong
with the patch in the first place (as proven by the fact that it is
applied properly.)

Or did the patch format that can be accepted by git-quiltimport suddenly
change somehow?  I'm passing mbox-like files to it, and have been since
it was created.  To change this, is fine, but let me know what format
is now needed please.
