Hm, so, .pc/ata_acpi.patch/drivers/scsi/ata_acpi.c contained
the complete new file, so quilt refresh found no changes
between the "current" file in drivers/scsi/ and the
"original" file in .pc/.  I truncated the file in .pc/
to be a 0-length file and then 'refresh' produces a
correct diff (AFAICT).

Is this a quilt buglet or a user problem?
