           Summary: <patch> task provides no mechanism to fail on error

A patch that always fails when the patch command fails.

The <patch> task does not fail if the invocation of the patch command fails.

Attached are two patches for <patch>:

1. A patch that simply fails the build when the patch command returns a failure
result code. This patch changes the default behavior of patch to fail when the
patch command fails, which I think is a good thing but may not be the
prevailing wisdom of the Ant project since nearly nothing fails on error by
default.

2. A patch that adds a "failOnError" attribute to the <patch> task which
defaults to false, but when set to true fails the build when the patch command
returns a failure result code.

Actually, it seems that I can only add a single attachment. I will add the
first attachment and then hopefully there will be a way to add additional
attachments once I file this report.
