There are several different possible workflows, here is what I have
found convenient.  To simplify the example, suppose we have a single
patch, and no uncommitted changes.

I like to do this one file at a time; I'm not sure there is really any
good reason.

1) $ uncrustify --replace -c uncrustify.cfg a.c

2) Now carefully look at the changes and selectively add the ones you
   agree with. I use magit (in emacs) for this. Git citool can also
   stage a line at a time.

3) $ git commit --amend

4) $ git reset --hard # blow away any changes you didn't agree with.
                   # remember, no uncommited changes to start with 
                   
Now repeat for each other c/c++/.h file your patch modifies.

In principle you could do something similar to produce "Style cleanups
for file a.c" commits by doing a regular commit in step 3.
