I think it would be best for you to have that in a personal fork of git on 
repo.or.cz.  It is really easy to set up, and working with you will be 
easier, since one can always "git fetch" your newest stuff.

Then, I would recommend making many many small patches.  You can always 
reorder/squash them with "git rebase -i" later, and you will probably need 
to rebase them to newer upstream revisions anyway.

Ciao,
