But how do you do it when you have nine patches? I think that is my current backlog. Making a new tree for each patch seems like a pain to manage. So, I've been swapping them in and out. But that is also a pain, for the reasons I mentioned. Keeping multiple patches in one working tree is also not an option. Most of my patches seem to overlap; many of them touch Makefile.in at least.
