The "Quet transform" of A006519 is
1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,4,3,2,3,4,3,4,5,4,3,2,1...
which is constructed as follows: 
Start with a subsequence consisting of a single 1, and repeatedly apply the operation S -> S,1+S,1
thus
1
1,2,1
1,2,1,2,3,2,1
1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,4,3,2,1
etc.
This appears to be 1 + A080468.

%N A080468 a(n) = A080578(n)-2n.
%C A080468 Terms between 2^n and 2^(n+1) as n goes to infinity tend to the sequence : 0,1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,4,3,2,1,2\
  ,3,2,3,4,3,2,3,4,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,....
