The simple (for me) workflow I use is to create a clone of the kernel for each 'topic' I work on. So at the same time I may have one or maybe up to five clones of the kernel. When I want to combine thing I use git format-patch and git am. Often there is some amount of editing done before combining stuff especially for larger changes where the first in the serie is often preparational work that were identified in random order when I did the inital work.
