Why?  I thought mq was designed to solve that problem as it lets you
keep the patches separate, apply one or more of them at a time, update
them so they apply cleanly to the current sources, etc.

If you are using mq, you would first pop your changes, then pull and
update, then push your changes and fix them if conflicts were
generated by the pull+update step, then qrefresh, qdelete and finally
push to the remote archive.
