	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,
