Let's have it the other way around, keep the same behaviour for
those who run the command without the new option, while allowing
people who know better and are aligned with the spirit of git to
pass the parameter, at least for now, with a note in the
documentation to warn that the default may change in the future to
allow no fuzz, or something.
Perhaps like this, with some documentation added (do we have/need
any test???).

Subject: [PATCH] git-quiltimport.sh: allow declining fuzz with --exact option
git-quiltimport unconditionally passes "-C1" to "git apply",
supposedly to roughly match the quilt default of --fuzz 2. Allow
users to pass --exact option to disable it, requiring the patch to
apply without any fuzz.
Also note that -C1 and fuzz=2 is not identical. Most patches have
three lines of context, so fuzz=2 leaves one relevant line of
context. But for any patches with more or less context this is not
true. git-apply has no option for fuzz, so any emulation will
always be best-effort.
