Hi,

Unlike quilt itself, git-quiltimport doesn't ignore non-existent patches.
Instead it bails out badly, leaving a .dotest directory that must be removed
manually. This is with git 1.5.3.2.

It would be nice if git-quiltimport would just warn about non-existent patches,
just like quilt.  This will make it work with `markers' we put in our quilt
series files. Commenting out the markers is no solution as `quilt series'
doesn't show commented-out patches.

Thanks!

With kind regards,
