It's useful when using quilt in conjunction with another version control system to hand off patches from quilt's management to that of the other VCS. This quilt function provides that capability.
Any patch in the stack can be sent to the VCS, provided that no earlier patch also touches the same files. The commit message is taken from the quilt patch header. A range of patches can be committed in sequence, if desired. Only subversion (and a "null", forgetful VCS) are implemented in this version, although I have left stubs in the code for git and mercurial. The code attempts to determine automatically which VCS to use, and will complain (and stop) if none or more than one is found.
