I usually work on a local branch: feature-soandso.01
If I want to rearrange the patches, I create a new branch from master:

$ git checkout master
$ git pull
$ git checkout -b feature-soandso.02

then I can e.g. reintegrate those two commits as one:

$ git cherry-pick --no-commit <hash of first  commit from feature-soandso.01>
$ git cherry-pick --no-commit <hash of second commit from feature-soandso.01>
$ git commit # don't forget to re-edit the now merged commit messages

and then I (re-)submit that last commit from this new branch to the
mailing list.

(Untested, from memory.) Good luck.

I don't declare the recommendations on this list, I just interpret
them. ;-) Generally, there's no use in separating the doc from the
feature commit.
