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 (?)
