I tried it now... there seems a minor problem, or that iam not using it 
as designed.

i tried quilt remove <file_name>

it said that this file is removed. Now i need to quilt refresh, it says that 
there is nothing to refresh. (There doesnt seem to be a -f option either for
refresh).

now iam not able to pop the patch, since it still has the old diff,
but the file doesnt have it now. 

I had to make a dummy change, then quilt refresh, now the quilt pop worked.
