Indeed. The idea behind this was as follows: If a patches sub-directory exists 
further up the tree but not in the root of the working tree, the new command 
will break out of the working tree and create patches further up the tree. I 
repeatedly stumbled over this problem in the beginning. (The import command 
has the same problem, but it currently has no workaround.)
