Don't allow `got patch' to delete files that are not known, or add files that are already known and to edit files that are known, not obstructed and without conflicts.

These commands perform potentially long-running operations on the repository after reading information from the work tree. There is no need for them to keep the work tree locked until the end. Doing so blocks other commands the user may want to run concurrently. For example, the user may want to be able to run 'got diff' in the work tree while browsing 'got log' output in less(1). Pointed out by Misha on gameoftrees IRC.

otherwise got-read-patch can't parse any patch because the position indicator is at the end of file. While here fix the return too and set patchfd to -1 on error (stsp suggestion.) ok thomas, stsp

Replace FMT_SCALED_STRSIZE with (FMT_SCALED_STRSIZE - 2) as field width when formatting output for printing. FMT_SCALED_STRSIZE includes space for a nul byte and a minus sign. Output values are expected to be always positive here. ok stsp

Use the same idiom as in the strtonum(3) manpage which produces a more readable error message. OK kn, stsp

Always update to the specified branch even if the branch is already rebased (no commits needed to be rebased, and the branch does not need a fast forward). With the old behavior of erroring and staying on the current branch, I sometimes found myself ignoring the error message, treating it as information and assuming the branch update, and later on committing on top of origin/main instead of the main branch. feedback and ok stsp

This is important in cases like 'got diff file.txt file.txt' which should only show the diff for file.txt once. suggested by kn@
