I believe this is useful, too.

Maybe "coalesce"? I recall using that word when turning several
consecutive memory blocks into a single larger block in a malloc
implementation, and this sitiation is very similar.

It would be nice if it was possible to specify an arbitrary series of
patches, and get them coalesced into one. (StGIT would have to push
and pop to place them consecutively and topmost.) With a parameter to
control the name of the new large patch, and the comment being the
concatenation of the comments of the component patches (easily
editable in the editor window that pops up).
