What I'll generally do is to topologically sort the patches. Work out what
patch each of the new patches fix and then rename the patches to
name-of-the-patch-whcih-is-being-fixed-fix.patch.
So if you had
foo.patch
bar.patch
and then sent be "[patch] frob the nozzle"
I'd work out that this new patch is fixing foo.patch and I'd name it
"foo-fix.patch" and the sequence would become:
foo.patch
foo-fix.patch
bar.patch
and then at some time in the future I'll collapse foo-fix.patch,
foo-fix-fix.patch, etc into foo.patch.
Of course it doesn't always work out that simply ;)
In this case it's not clear that a tsort will work out right. I'll take a
look.
