if you are useing quilt for locally developed patches I fully agree with

patches from lots of people and storing them in quilt for testing, and 
then sending them on to you. In this case the patches really are 
independant and it may be useful to continue to treat them this way 
instead of collapsing them into one 'update from Andrew' feed.
If so, he should set up one repository per quilt patch. 

That would be crazy, but yes, it would allow me to cherry-pick which
one(s) I want to merge with.

But the fact is, that cherry-picking should happen at quilt-time not at
git time.
