For sure on my end the most useful git commands are:

 * git rebase -i, which I use to rework series of patches. No need for
   quilt, stgit, topgit or who knows what. git rebase -i is really a
   very powerful way to organize and rework a set of patches, going
   through multiple iterations.

 * git add -p, which allows to selectively stage parts of a file
   changes for the next commit.
