Create a brach from the one you are working on: git branch -b my_branch make a change and commit it commit another one and so on. then create the patches: git format-patch original_branch_name..my_branch and use git send-email to send them off in order.
Otherwise we are going to take 7 weeks when I apply one of your patches a week :)
