By the way, this test case revealed a few inconsistencies. While most
commands properly report "No series file found" if you are not in a
quilt-managed tree, 3 commands diverge from this behavior:

* "quilt pop" reports "No patch removed" instead, which while not
incorrect, is not consistent.

* "quilt series" report nothing. That's what Martin's patch aimed at
fixing. I wonder it should report "No series file found" even when not
in verbose mode? That would seem more consistent.

* "quilt snapshot" creates a .pc/ subdirectory and an empty .snap/
directory there. Again while not fundamentally wrong, it doesn't seem
particularly useful in the absence of a series file.

I'll look into fixing "pop" and "snapshot" to behave the same as all
other commands.
