How I would do it in existing git:

	git branch oldhead
	git reset --keep base
	git log --oneline --graph HEAD..oldhead;	# the right patches?
	git cherry-pick -s HEAD..oldhead
	git diff oldhead

Or without multiple-cherry-pick, maybe:

	git branch oldhead
	git reset --keep base
	git format-patch -k --stdout HEAD..oldhead >series
	git am -s -3 -i series;	# the right patches?
	git diff oldhead

No opinion on the automatic-signoff-in-rebase here.
