It's not really easier, just different. Git allows you to make a "topic branch" to keep separate items that need to bake before going upstream without being mixed in with all your other worked. This allows you to continue to pull in upstream changes to make sure that the patch series still applies cleanly and doesn't need updates etc.
Of course you may be more comfortable with other tools, but Git _does_ make it easy and practical to do the same thing.
