Stored it as an interesting something -- used to use quilt and although I didn't much care for its linear nature when managing an entire tree, it probably works out well for private topic branches. Not overly sure of added practical value over git rebase, but I did like the simple nature of shuffling things around by just editing a series file back when I was using quilt. Keeps one on top of things, so to speak (<-- amusing play on words). Moreover not too keen on using many tools do do one thing, so getting this inside git itself sounded like a possibly nice notion.
