And on top of that change, if somebody really wants to enforce
stricter check by default, I think we could do something like this.

Obviously not tested at all, as I do not care too deeply myself ;-)

Subject: [PATCH] git-quiltimport: flip the default not to allow fuzz

Trying to be as strict as possible when applying the patch may be a
good discipline, so let's flip the default but we can be helpful to
those who do rely on the original behaviour thanks to the previous
change to add -C$n option.

Suggest using -C1 when:

 - "git apply" without fuzz fails to apply; and
 - the user did not specify a -C$n or --exact option; and
 - "git apply -C1" (old behaviour) would have succeeded.
