I do and I use Fossil (no surprise there, right?) because of the simplicity
of set up.

This could be done using the --incremental feature of fossil export /
import. It's just tricky to use.

My experience with submitting patches (several different projects) has been
(a) each patch must be limited to one fix or enhancement, and (b) should
not result in merge conflicts when the dev applying the patch applies the
patch. (Generally this means pulling the latest, merging, resolving,
building and testing, then pulling and merging again to make sure. Then
create the patch and send it as quickly as possible.)
