patch -f fails in the same way as patch without -f does, so quilt will still 
fail for patches that don't apply cleanly, as it does now. The difference is, 
patch -f does not ask the user questions. The questions might sometimes be 
helpful when applying a patch that does not apply cleanly by hand.

Does this make sense?
