[p4] Patching files checked out from Perforce with no questionsasked

[Ken.Williams@thomson.com]

Yeah, I asked this question a week or so ago too.  I actually have no
idea where this prompt is coming from, surely patch(1) doesn't know
anything about perforce, does it?

tml , it looks like maybe if you unset P4CONFIG it won't ask any
questions.  Alternatively, if you're on a unixish environment you might
be able to do

  yes n | patch <...patch args...>

But that's maybe a little dangerous.
