the thing you want is /usr/share/svn-buildpackage/contrib/svn-do. i
personally have it moved into $PATH and use it for my quilt-and-svn-using
packages, such as php, and it works quite nicely.
i'd argue that's it's somewhat backwards to expect a patch management system
like dpatch or quilt to perform this task, and really it should be the
responsibility of the vcs or vcs-wrapper tools.
