"quilt files --combine" doesn't actually combine patches. It combines
lists of files contained in the said patches. It works for me, although
I was disappointed to see that it doesn't drop duplicates from the
list. I'd prefer it to do, but maybe there is a reason to the current
implementation beyond its simplicity.

If you want to only get the changes made to one file (or a given list
of files), just append the name of the file(s) to your "quilt diff
--combine" command.

Hope that helps,
