Interesting. I always tend to do something more joined up as having a single patch fail when it touches multiple files makes the reconstructing the patch a bit more problematic where as a git rebase over the sources is generally much quicker. But each to their own - backup files are useful you've proven that much :) An option (or different macros) is needed.
