Hmm. There are things that make it easier to pick and chose parts of a
big diff for different patches.  Some combination of 
git reset HEAD~1
and one of the 'graphical' tools like tig that let you pick lines.

That lets you quickly break up a patch where you want to move things, then
you can reorder the patches to put them next to where you want to move
changes to and rely on git rebase -i with f or s to squash them.

Figuring out optimum path to the eventual break up you want is
a skill though.  When doing this sort of mangling I tend to get it wrong
and shout at my computer a few times a day ;)
Then git rebase --abort and try again.

End result is that you end up with coherent series and it looks like
you wrote perfect code in nice steps from the start!
