Currently I check for the existence of <git dir>/patches directory as
a quick exit in case a repository does NOT have a StGIT repo on it
(the common case).

This avoids a costly and 99% of cases not needed 'stg <something>' call=
=2E

I ask if it will be still a safe check in the long period or it is
better to change the check to something else (as existence of <git
dir>/refs/patches) instead ?

Thanks
