I've generally just done this hack(assuming the series of patches is in
the "patches" directory):
quilt pop -a
mv patches series-1
mkdir patches
touch patches/series
quilt setup -P patches patches/series
quilt new start-series-2
Of course the "quilt pop -a" may not succeed in popping all of the
patches if you've accidentally forgotten a refresh.
If you do this often enough you can make an empty series, back it up,
and replace the mkdir, touch, and quilt setup with a simple cp -r.
Though this is a gross hack...
Or you could add a new command to your /usr/share/quilt which
essentially does the equivalent of the above steps (using appropriate
quilt-internal variables etc).
