It's something else: quilt refresh doesn't recognize git extended patches and 
produces things like the following, which then confuses git:

        diff --git a/arch/i386/kernel/reboot.c b/arch/i386/kernel/reboot.c
        index 350ea66..2a8cb44 100644

After Linus's last comment it's clear how to fix it, so I'll check a fix in 
later tonight.
