Could it use a different name that `--forward', though?  I find
the name --forward confusing enough with patch, which is pretty
low-level, but I think it would be even more odd in a higher-level
context like arch.

Something nice and obvious like `--ignore-patch-duplicates' or
something would be nice.

BTW, patch -N leaves around .rej files for rejected duplicates, without
any obvious indication that's what they are; I'm not sure whether that's
the right thing or not for arch...
