quilt is pretty simple
just one file something like "series.current" for patch name.
#quilt new patch.patch <---for new patch in the stack
#quilt add filename.c <---for adding file/s to the patch
#quilt refresh <-- after changing the files to update patch
#quilt header -e <--- in order to add any header info, something like
patch description or signoff info
#quilt push <-- to push the patch in the stack
#quilt pop <-- to pop out latest patch from the stack
last two commands with "-a" will push/pop entire stack

there is one more command
#quilt setup -l foo.tar.gz <--- not sure if this one really works for
all quilt version, i had a modified version taken from somewhere. This
basically untars the tarball and create series.current file.


I think this should do most of the stuff, but there may be few advance
commands as well

Thanks
