I think this is just a consequence of quilt internals.  The quilt setup 
functions normally cd to the top directory and record the directory 
where the command was invoked in the SUBDIR environment variable.  So 
all commands actually run from the top directory, and have to explicitly 
take SUBDIR into account if they wish to.

So, the question is, is this a bug (can't create patches relative to 
subdirectories), or a feature (don't have to cd to the top to fold in a 
patch)?
