It's so I can apply in-progress patches using Mercurial Queues (MQ).

Maybe there's an easy way to manage this with Git, but I don't see one.
First, I want to build, with the patches, on multiple systems. That
means rebasing is out, or at least it becomes more of a hassle. Second,
the patches are usually independent. So, IIUC, the "correct" approach
would be to have a branch for each patch, plus another branch to merge
all the per-patch branches, so that I can build with them all.
With MQ the workflow is pretty simple:
- unpack the tarball
- create the repo and commit the unpacked files
- pull the patches from their repo
- apply the patches ("hg qpush -a")
- build
