One other use case to keep in mind: it's sometimes necessary to remove quilt
patch files.  One of the things you do when you merge in a new upstream is to
review the current set of patches to see what's been applied upstream.  You'll
delete those patches, and of course may need to resolve conflicts in
subsequent patches that touch the same code.

I think that would correspond to a combine-thread in the loom that throws away
the changes in one thread.
