I see. This may be the only way to allow GNU patch to run interactively. I'm
not sure how much that is worth though ...

The new read-only check has also bitten others before; this change seems too
problematic. I have reduced it to a warning now; it can be silenced with --
read-only=ignore or turned into a failure with --read-only=fail. Hopefully
that will work well enough now.
