I think so, but I haven't played with --git-overlay. git-dpm (which I am advocating) really wants the git branch to contain everything. It makes switching to the patches branch work well. The git-dpm work flow seems (IMO) to make package development a lot like upstream development, since you just fix the code in the patches branch and the tool takes care of generating the quilt patches for you.
