I have never used it ( is it linux/unix based at all? ) I think you could accomplish what you want with setting up a git repo for patch downloads and then some scripting fu to import the updates into your other version control software. Subversion comes to mind since it would seem pretty trivial to script an http: or even file system update of the new(er) patches you've downloaded using git.
