*Very* interesting, thanks!

For the sake of context here is what the quilt manpage has to say

An importer quilt -> topgit on top of that would be awesome.
madduck: do you have a TODO list about the tools which vcs-pkg aims to
produce in supporting vcs-based workflows? This would be a nice item
to add.

Cheers.
