Because, I would be amazed if > git is not capable of handling this situation. I haven't tried yet... so I'll let you know. Thinking this through, I could create a temporary branch forked from master, apply the patch to it, then rebase my changes on top, fix up the conflicts and then rebase back to my original branch, delete the temp branch, then when I'm ready I can rebase my branch on top of master again. That should get me to where I want to be while preserving the history I want to preserve (Ingo's unmolested changes) and discarding the history I don't (fixing up merge conflicts and the such).
