I think we can use interactive rebase[1] as well as 'git am'[2] (am = apply mail)
to apply a series of patches from a mailbox.

In the case of, let's say a dependency missing on your end, you can do an
interactive rebase using 'git rebase -i' to edit your _mini-commits_ which
you will be making on applying the patches to include the dependencies. One
can also 'squash' commits together(i.e. meld multiple commits into one) in
case you want a smaller commit history or you think there is a redundancy in
any of your commits.

BTW, I think that 'git quiltimport' is quite old now right? And maybe even
obsolete?

Best,
