Re: [PATCH] quiltimport: Skip non-existent patches

"Dan Nicholson" [off-list ref] writes:

When you run the command `quilt series', it just lists what's in the
series file (minus any comments). And when you run `quilt push' with a
non-existent patch, it says "Patch foo.patch does not exist; applied
empty patch"

So, I think the consistent thing to do is what's in my patch: just
skip the patch with a message to the user. Maybe the message can be
tailored to match quilt's output. Actually, it would be best to also
skip on empty files since quiltimport will bomb in that case as well.

Thanks for your helpful explanation.  So perhaps we can do this
on top of yours to be safer and more consistent.
