Package: quilt
Version: 0.42-2
Severity: serious

The error checking is completely missing from the "all" command,
because user is able to do to:

  quilt push -a
  quilt push -a         (recall command; ooops pressed RET)
  .. mess follows ..

SUGGESTED CORRECTION

In context of repeated "-a", the program could intelligently continue
from where it left off. The .pc/applied-patches already records what
is the last patch that has been applied and the rest of the patches in
"series" cound be then applied to the end.

This would be the preferred interpretation of consequtive "-a"
options. It would also help workflow:

    quilt push to-this-path
    .. hack .. hack ..
    .. test ...
    <done, okay, see if rest applied after these changes>
    quilt push -a
    <finish - all looks good>
