If you have a number of patches with interdependencies, it's best to
send them out as a whole series. So you'd typically apply them in order
to a single branch, then use:

	$ git format-patch first^..last

where first is the SHA1 of the first commit you want to send, and last
is the the SHA1 of the last patch. The carret (^) means the parent
commit of the specified one and is needed because git format-patch
doesn't include the start of the sequence.

If the commits are at the top of your branch you can use something like
this:

	$ git format-patch -3

which will generate a series for the last three patches in the branch
(more specifically starting from HEAD).

If you send them as a series, it's immediately obvious in what order
they should be applied and generally makes it easier for people to
review and test.

I think in this case you can probably just have the other two patches
first in the series, then apply the timeout patch on top. That way you
can resolve the conflicts between patches 1 and 2, and patch 3 before
sending out.
