Now, in this model, you're not really using git as a distributed system. 
In this model, you're using git to track somebody elses tree, and track a 
few patches on top of it, and then "git rebase" is a way to move the base 
that you're tracking your patches against forwards..
I am using the workaround of carrying the patches in a mail folder, 
applying them in a batch, and not pulling from your tree between 
applying a batch of patches and you pulling from my tree.
Yes, that also works.

I think "quilt" is really the right thing here, although stg may be even 
easier due to the more direct git integration. But with a smallish number 
of patches, just doing patch management by hand is obviously simply not a 
huge problem either, so extra tools may just end up confusing the issue.
