No, quilt doesn't support that yet. I have been toying the same ideas that allow quilt to export a patches set and import in remotely. Maybe started with allow quilt to import a directory of patches which has it's own series files in the directory. > Perhaps even to say "fetch the patches in <that> series", > with <that> specified by URL? > > It makes a lot of sense to insist that the patches all be > fetched locally before they're applied.

That might imply changes to Quilt. Quilt is just some bash script. I have my home grow quilt written in python to work better with perforce. I can try this out.
