Hi,
I've written a little patch to git-quiltimport that helps it with some stupid
quilt repos.
Its still no use to me because it cant understand .bz2 compressed patches,
but I thought this might help some folk out.
Hopefully t-bird wont mangle my patch...

Subject: [PATCH] Add a --series option to git-quiltimport
This allows git-quiltimport to handle quilt patchsets with the
series fil in a nonstandard location.
