Git + Topgit is a better solution for your case. See:
 * http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git/blob/HEAD:/README
E.g. In my fork of topgit, quilt patches resident in "debian/patches" directory:
 * https://github.com/ossxp-com/topgit/tree/master/debian/patches/t
And these patches are exported from the topic branches using this command:
 * https://github.com/ossxp-com/topgit/blob/master/debian/rules#L53

Git also has a command which can import quilt patches as commits on to the current branch:

    $ git quiltimport
