What I'll generally do is to topologically sort the patches.  Work out what
patch each of the new patches fix and then rename the patches to
name-of-the-patch-whcih-is-being-fixed-fix.patch.

So if you had

	foo.patch
	bar.patch

and then sent be "[patch] frob the nozzle"

I'd work out that this new patch is fixing foo.patch and I'd name it
"foo-fix.patch" and the sequence would become:

	foo.patch
	foo-fix.patch
	bar.patch

and then at some time in the future I'll collapse foo-fix.patch,
foo-fix-fix.patch, etc into foo.patch.

Of course it doesn't always work out that simply ;)

In this case it's not clear that a tsort will work out right.  I'll take a
look.
