When working with patchsets (multiple separate patches, as requested
here), I personally prefer using the tool called Stacked Git[1] (StGit)
command line 'stg', as it allows me to easily adjust patches in the
middle of the patchset "stack".  It is similar to quilt, just git based
itself.

I guess most people on this list use 'git rebase --interactive' when
updating their patchsets (?)
