I'd do something similar, when I need to do this in CVS.

I copy the entire tree, and then on the copy use #
M-x cvs-mode and 'd e' to locate the changes I want to remove.

Then I commit from this tree, and afterwards update the original tree.
Patch normally makes a good job of figuring out what to do, unless
one of the non-commited hunks is right beside a commited hunk,
in which case I'd normally delete the original hunk in the conflict and
use 'd e' to decide what parts of the modified hunk to keep.
