Currently "quilt fold" reads the patch to be folded in from stdin only. One common use case is to squash two successive patches in the series together, so it would be convenient if "quilt fold" had an option to use the next patch file in the series instead of reading from stdin. Basically, the following:

$ quilt fold < $(quilt next)

would become:

$ quilt fold -n

which is quicker to type (suggested by Matej Cepl).

It might make sense to also add option -r to delete the patch which has just been folded in. This would make the CLI consistent between "quilt delete" and "quilt fold".
